Most blockchains still ask users to care about gas, tokens, and friction. Plasma is quietly making a different bet.
Its recent direction shows a chain designed to disappear into the background. Stablecoins act as first-class citizens. Fees can be paid in the same assets people actually want to move. The native token secures the system, but daily usage is intentionally abstracted away from it.
That design choice matters. It signals a shift from speculative chains to transactional infrastructure. Plasma is not competing to be the most expressive or experimental Layer-1. It is competing to be boring, predictable, and cheap. The kind of network that businesses tolerate and users forget about.
The deeper idea is simple: adoption does not come from teaching users crypto. It comes from removing reasons to notice it at all.
