Plasma stands apart—but the real question is when does the difference fully land?
@Plasma treats fees not as a revenue stream, but as user-experience debt. USDT transfers are subsidized through protocol-level paymasters, removing the need for users to manage gas tokens entirely. The result is a payment experience that feels closer to cash than crypto.
At the protocol level, XPL powers both governance and validator participation, with inflation activating only once staking begins—aligning network growth with long-term commitment rather than short-term extraction.
With the rollout of USDT0 support, a Bitcoin-backed security model, and early custody integrations such as Cobo, Plasma is clearly moving beyond the label of “just another chain.” It’s positioning itself as purpose-built financial infrastructure—designed for stablecoins, settlement, and real-world scale.
