design hides a timing risk: subsecond BFT finality pushes users to treat stablecoin payments as complete, while Bitcoin anchoring resolves failures on a much slower economic clock. That gap forms a two-tier trust boundary where behavior is governed by fast local finality, not by the anchor’s enforcement power. The implication is clear: Plasma only holds together if breakdowns never require the Bitcoin layer to step in.
