Why Onchain Financial Markets Need More Than Just a BlockchainImagine a global financial market running entirely onchain, without traditional middlemen slowing everything down. It’s not just about solid tech. Tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) isn’t enough. You need native infrastructure for issuance, trading, and settlement no custodians or depositories required. Classic markets rely on brokers, CSDs, CCPs, and custodians. These layers create friction, delays, costs, and counterparty risk. Liquidity fragments, capital stalls. For the first time, a blockchain can legally replace the entire stack. That’s where @Dusk_Foundation comes in, built to power real onchain financial markets. It delivers deterministic settlement, programmable compliance, selective privacy, and modular executionfor both DeFi and regulated institutions. On #dusk : • Regulatory logic embeds directly into verifiable execution.• Privacy leverages ZK and homomorphic encryption.• Obligations enforce automatically via smart contracts.• Settlement finalizes in seconds, irreversibly. This turns securities into true digital assets. You can lend, collateralize, automate corporate actions, trade compliantly, and run institutional strategies all fully onchain. Without this foundation, RWAs are just digital certificates. With it, you get a real market. $DUSK provides the rails: • DuskDS for settlement and data.• DuskEVM for programmable markets, with Hedger for compliant privacy.• DuskVM for advanced privacy use cases. All in one unified, modular network. Financial markets are heading here: assets issued natively, traded globally, settled instantly, direct ownership, encoded compliance, selective verifiable privacy. Dusk makes it real.

A TRUE LIFE STORY -  HOW BINANCE SQUARE STARTED (Transformations, The Pioneers, et al)📍
Do you wish to know the origin,  transformation and some of the Super OGs of Binance square? From Binance Buzz, to Binance FEED and now Square?  Ride with me :

But before I proceed, it might interest you to know that the entire write-up of this article is 100% original and true based on personal experience. - No fiction, No research work, No AI.  I witnessed it all. All original from me ✍️

Binance Square has grown rapidly from a few tens of creators to a million(s) creators within 3 years. And I can proudly say it loud that I am part of this great success.

Back then in September 2022, I was already a Content Creator and Binance affiliate Marketer. The Binance team introduced a hub called Binance buzz.

Few KOLs including some affiliates(me too) applied and was accepted to be Approved creators inside the Binance app under the control and management of Viane , Diana Dai, J and Eric Yang.

The Binance Buzz was built under the Binance affiliate Pro dashboard inside the Binance app. We had global buzz group(Created by Viane) where we interact with each other (OGs) and give daily feedback and suggestions on how to improve the platform.

After a few weeks, it was changed from Buzz to FEED and was officially launched in October 2022 with lots of improvements. Then approved FEED creators no longer need to navigate to the affiliate Pro dashboard to access it. It was available in the Binance app homepage as a separate tab. The Binance FEED was also made available in the Binance website.

Meanwhile, some of the Global Super OGs who are the pioneers of this platform since 2022  are:  My humble Self( Crypto Angel), CaptainX, Kasonso, Aman Sai, Danny,  Crypto Ahmet , Berit, Nabeel, Jegaboy, Spidey, TAnalyst, Hamza PRO, Crypto Man MAB, ABHI, Admin Crypto Raven, MAX, CryptoPalace, Pro Crypto Tech, Sid@HumanRaiders, among others.

COMPARISON BTW BINANCE FEED & SQUARE
To be honest, comparing the then Binance FEED and the current Binance square is just like comparing analog and digital. LOL. 
This is because, Binance FEED lacked a lot of features you all enjoy currently such as  editing, comment section, quoting, poll, video uploads, Audio Live and many more. So, We started bringing suggestions about these features to the FEED team and gradually, they were making it available, we kept testing and giving feedback till it was all great 😃

Also, back then, your post queue up for manual approval before listing. And if found faulty or misleading, it gets delisted again 😂
Within ending of that 2022, SAHIB AQIB (2022 -2024) became the Global manager and was very active and friendly to all KOLs in the group. He in fact, responds like a bot 🫡 🙌 🚀

There was also no monetization feature till 2023 when content tipping was introduced.

GROWTH:
We started bringing in influencers and KOLs to join the platform till we had over 1,000 KOLs which was the first milestone 🔥.

The system kept improving, new features we suggested kept rolling in and the platform was getting more and more interesting.
In October 2023, the name was changed from Binance FEED to Binance square. This was when the platform officially launched and went LIVE .

But hey, we didn't stop, we kept building and helping the square to get even better through honest feedback and continuous Suggestions to the team.

MOST REMARKABLE EVENTS

🔶 Our Legend  CZ 🔶 @CZ Joined Binance square in the Q4 of 2023
🔶 In the same Quarter,  Binance Square was opened and made available for all creators (all Binance users) to post without submitting any application.

In 2024 (ending ) there came huge  monetization features for creators such as Write to Earn, etc. Also 2025 brought in CreatorsPad and many more.
Till today BS keeps getting bigger and bigger.  The actual number of active Creators in Binance square is not known to me but obviously numerous talented creators.

Conclusion : Binance Square has become the first and best choice for brands and project owners who wants visibility and growth.

In my Next Article on Binance square, I will let you know the current conditions of the Binance Super OGs. Stay tuned.
A very big shout-out to my Co Super OGs of @Binance Square Official . Both those I mention here and those I didn't. Respect 🫡 🙌🤝🫡

I hope you enjoyed reading this true story.
Stay positive, stay safe. See you soon .

Today, using blockchain to pay or move money should feel effortless.
But in reality, it doesn’t.
Fees show up out of nowhere.
Confirmations take too long.
And when large amounts or Bitcoin are involved, trust becomes a real concern.
Stablecoins were meant to simplify crypto finance, yet the infrastructure often slows them down.
That’s exactly where Plasma steps in.
Not with noise, but with a very clear idea.
Build a blockchain designed from day one for stablecoin payments.
Picture a highway built specifically for financial flows, while everything else stays on general-purpose roads.
On Plasma, transactions move almost instantly.
You can send USDT like an internal bank transfer.
You can even use BTC as fuel, without breaking anything along the way.
And everything stays fully compatible with the Ethereum ecosystem you already know.

Here’s why BTC can only go up.0.28 BTC is the entry ticket to the global top 1% 0.28 Bitcoin. Less than 25,000$ at current prices. On the surface, it sounds ordinary, almost underwhelming. Until you understand what it truly represents. Not the top 1% of a country. Not the top 1% of crypto investors. The top 1% of humanity in terms of Bitcoin ownership. This is not crypto marketing. It is pure mathematics. By 2030, the world is expected to have around 85 million millionaires, according to projections from the UBS Global Wealth Report. On the other side of the equation, Bitcoin’s total supply is capped at 21 million, with roughly 20.5 million already in circulation. If every millionaire wanted a share, that would amount to less than 0.24 BTC per person. And this calculation deliberately ignores institutional players, banks, governments, and companies like Strategy, which alone already holds more than 650,000 BTC. The famous 21 million figure is theoretical. Reality is far tighter. Data from Chainalysis and Glassnode estimate that between 2.3 and 3.7 million BTC are permanently lost. Add to that roughly 1.1 million BTC attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto, untouched since 2009. More than 60% of all Bitcoin has not moved for at least a year, and a significant portion has been idle for over a decade. According to Fidelity Digital Assets, every day 566 BTC “age” into the category of coins inactive for more than 10 years, while only 450 new BTC are issued daily since the 2024 halving. The truly accessible supply is closer to 17 million. That’s it. Fewer than one million addresses worldwide hold at least one full Bitcoin. Meanwhile, there are more than 60 million millionaires globally. Owning 1 BTC is about 75 times rarer than being a dollar millionaire. And this club is shrinking. Since 2023, nearly 20,000 addresses have exited the “whole coiner” category, often forced to sell. Price projections for 2030 vary, but even conservative scenarios remain striking. Between $300,000 and $500,000 in a pessimistic case. Up to and beyond $1.5 million in optimistic scenarios. At $500,000 per BTC, 0.28 BTC is already worth $140,000. Catching up later would cost five to twenty times more than it does today. Bitcoin, however, is not a straight line. Its annualized volatility is close to 50%. Corrections of 30% to 70% are part of the journey. The real danger is not the drawdown, but investing more than you can afford to hold. Bank of America recommends a 1–4% allocation to crypto. Conservative, yes, but it keeps you in the game. Three principles make the difference. Accumulate steadily, without putting yourself at risk. Secure your holdings as if they were already worth ten times more, because lost Bitcoin never comes back. And most importantly, think in decades. Those who bought in 2015 and simply held have endured three major crashes and still achieved roughly a 400x return. The window is closing a little more each day. In ten years, the real question will not be “how much did you buy?” but “how much did you manage to keep?” 0.28 BTC. 1 BTC. 5 $BTC .

RWA: not hype, but infrastructureReal World Assets are not about buzz or short-term excitement. They answer a structural need. While part of the retail market still asks “when pump?”, institutional players are focused on a far more decisive question: will this system still work in five or ten years? That difference in mindset changes everything. This is precisely why the long-term thesis around $DUSK makes sense. The conviction is not based on short-term price action or passing narratives. It is rooted in a fundamental choice: building a blockchain designed from day one to meet the requirements of real-world finance. Compliance is not an afterthought, RWAs are not just promises on a pitch deck, and risk is something engineered into the system, not ignored. As the crypto industry matures, capital will stop chasing noise. It will flow toward infrastructures that fit regulatory frameworks, institutional standards, and concrete financial use cases. This is the direction in which RWA is clearly moving. In that context, @Dusk_Foundation is not positioning itself as a meme, nor as a quick trade. It is positioning itself as infrastructure: discreet, resilient, and compatible with the constraints of traditional finance. Nothing guarantees success. No project is immune to market cycles or execution risk. But aligning with regulatory and institutional requirements means standing where serious capital ultimately has to go. That is what makes patience a rational choice. And that is why I remain long-term bullish on #dusk .

Plasma (XPL): a blockchain built for the stablecoin payment eraAs stablecoins continue to establish themselves as a core pillar of the global crypto economy, their technical limitations are becoming increasingly apparent. Speed, costs, privacy, and ease of use remain major challenges on networks that were originally designed for different use cases. @Plasma @undefined directly addresses these issues. It is a Layer 1 blockchain developed specifically for stablecoin payments, with the ambition of becoming infrastructure suited to the scale and requirements of modern financial transactions. Unlike general-purpose blockchains, Plasma integrates targeted features directly at the protocol level. USDt transfers can be executed without gas fees, removing one of the main barriers to adoption for end users. The network also enables the use of custom tokens for transaction fees and introduces privacy mechanisms, making transfers more discreet without compromising security. The goal is straightforward: to make stablecoin payments faster, cheaper, and better suited to professional and cross-border use cases. From a technical perspective, Plasma is secured by PlasmaBFT, a variant of the HotStuff consensus algorithm that offers Byzantine fault tolerance and low-latency finality. This architecture enables near-instant transaction settlement, a critical requirement for high-volume payment systems. The execution layer is built on Reth, an Ethereum-compatible client written in Rust, ensuring full EVM compatibility. Developers can therefore deploy applications using familiar EVM tools while benefiting from improved performance. One of Plasma’s most distinctive characteristics is its native integration of stablecoin-specific mechanisms. Through a protocol-level paymaster, users can send USDt without holding the native XPL token. Other transactions remain subject to standard fees to compensate validators and preserve the network’s economic security. Over time, Plasma also plans to progressively introduce additional features such as a trust-minimized Bitcoin bridge, confidential payments, and deeper integration with native stablecoin contracts. At the center of the ecosystem is the XPL token. As Plasma’s native asset, it underpins both the network’s security and its economic model. XPL is used for staking, validator rewards, and transaction fees outside of gasless USDt transfers. Validators stake XPL to participate in the proof-of-stake consensus, while token holders will eventually be able to delegate their assets to validators, contributing to network security without operating infrastructure themselves. The total supply of $XPL is capped at 10 billion tokens, allocated across public sale participants, the team, early investors, and ecosystem development, all subject to progressive vesting schedules. Validator rewards begin with an annual inflation rate of 5 percent, gradually decreasing to 3 percent. A fee-burning mechanism, inspired by EIP-1559, helps offset supply growth as transaction volume increases. By combining a robust technical design, stablecoin-focused features, and full EVM compatibility, #Plasma positions itself as a specialized infrastructure built to support the next generation of digital payments and high-volume international financial flows.

When Regulated Finance Meets Blockchain: $EURQ Lays the Foundation for Compliant On-Chain MarketsRegulated finance cannot sustainably operate on improvised infrastructure. For institutional adoption of blockchain to truly scale, it requires compliant, transparent, and legally sound rails. This is exactly the rationale behind the partnership with Quantoz, bringing $EURQ, a MiCA-compliant E-Money Token, to #dusk . In the crypto ecosystem, the “stablecoin” is often used as a catch-all. Under MiCA, however, not all stablecoins are created equal. An E-Money Token (EMT) is a clearly defined regulatory category within the European framework. It is not merely an asset pegged to fiat, but a regulated financial instrument designed from the ground up for institutional use. An EMT like $EURQ is fully backed 1:1 by fiat currency, with verifiable reserves, clear governance, and strict transparency requirements. Its issuance and management are subject to regulatory oversight, significantly reducing legal and operational risks for banks, corporates, and asset managers. As European regulators increase scrutiny, native compliance is becoming a decisive competitive advantage. Institutions are no longer focused solely on speed or low transaction costs, but on legal certainty, fund traceability, and regulatory predictability. This is precisely where MiCA-structured E-Money Tokens stand apart, while many legacy stablecoins still struggle to adapt to the new regulatory environment. Beyond compliance, $EURQ brings operational clarity that is critical for professional market participants. Issuance, reserve management, and redemption processes are clearly defined, making integration with existing financial systems far more straightforward. For enterprises and financial institutions, this reduces onboarding friction and accelerates the transition from pilot programs to full-scale on-chain deployment. The integration of $EURQ on $DUSK represents a strategic milestone. It proves that regulatory compliance, transaction confidentiality, and on-chain efficiency can coexist. More than just a digital euro representation, $EURQ becomes a foundational building block for compliant decentralized financial markets. In the long run, initiatives like this pave the way for truly compliant on-chain markets, capable of supporting institutional-scale volumes and driving blockchain adoption across regulated financial sectors. @Dusk_Foundation

Plasma : The Blockchain Aiming to Become the Backbone of Stablecoin Payments#Plasma (XPL) is part of a new generation of specialized blockchains designed not to do everything, but to do one thing exceptionally well. While most general-purpose networks try to support every possible use case, Plasma has made a clear and deliberate choice: to become a core infrastructure for stablecoins, with a strong focus on USDT, business use cases, and payments. From a technical standpoint, @Plasma is built as an EVM-compatible blockchain. This strategic decision lowers the barrier to entry for developers already familiar with the Ethereum ecosystem, while preserving flexibility for existing applications. The integration of the Reth execution engine, known for its performance and reliability, further strengthens the network’s technical foundation from day one. At the heart of the protocol lies PlasmaBFT, a consensus mechanism derived from Fast HotStuff. This design enables fast finality and high throughput, two critical requirements for large-scale stablecoin payments. In an environment where businesses demand speed, reliability, and predictable costs, this architecture represents a meaningful competitive advantage. The XPL token plays a central role within the ecosystem. It is used to pay network fees, stake as a validator, and participate in protocol governance. This multi-layered utility aligns the interests of users, validators, and decision-makers, while supporting the network’s security and long-term evolution. Another key dimension of the project is its ambition around confidential payments. Plasma aims to enable private transactions without compromising regulatory compliance, a balance that is particularly attractive to institutional players. If successfully executed, this approach could become a major driver of adoption. From an ecosystem perspective, Plasma launched with strong liquidity and a significant volume of stablecoins on-chain. However, the project has not been immune to market dynamics. After reaching highs in the fall of 2025, the $XPL token experienced sharp volatility and a substantial correction, reflecting both early enthusiasm and the natural repricing of a young network. Positioned against Ethereum, Solana, and Ripple (XRP), Plasma presents itself as a fast, specialized alternative optimized specifically for the stablecoin market. Its long-term success will depend less on short-term speculation and more on its ability to attract real-world use cases, particularly in cross-border payments and enterprise financial infrastructure.

After reaching highs in the fall of 2025, the $XPL token experienced sharp volatility and a substantial correction, reflecting both early enthusiasm and the natural repricing of a young network.
Positioned against Ethereum, Solana, and Ripple (XRP), Plasma presents itself as a fast, specialized alternative optimized specifically for the stablecoin market. Its long-term success will depend less on short-term speculation and more on its ability to attract real-world use cases, particularly in cross-border payments and enterprise financial infrastructure.

ABOUT THE TWEET from CZ I explain to you how I lost my 2 $BNB . In early 2025 I had two BNB that I kept jealously because these BNB allowed me to get free cryptos through the #Launchpool , #Megadrop and #HOLDerAirdrop so I was very happy to own these BNB because I was earning cryptos without lifting a finger. Then one day a friend sent me a screenshot of $2,000 in gains he made on a futures position and I was very excited about the idea of making gains like him. So I resumed futures trading hoping to make gains like my friend. And that's the beginning of all the difficulties, I started with $100 and lost that in a few clicks then I transferred $200 from spot wallets to the futures wallet. With this capital I managed to double in 2 days and I was very happy so I was regularly making gains. And that fateful day arrived I had taken a position and my trade was negative so I told myself I would sell one BNB to strengthen my position to avoid being liquidated and losing everything so I strengthened my position in a few days again I had to strengthen my position otherwise I would be liquidated so I sold the two BNB to strengthen telling myself that as soon as I got out of this position I would buy back my BNB and I would never sell them and unfortunately on this 10/10/2025 I was completely wiped out 💔😅 But I learned two very important lessons that I would like to share with you and I would also like to receive your advice ☺️ The first lesson: NEVER SELL YOUR CRYPTOS IN SPOT TO TRADE ON THE FUTURES MARKET. Second lesson: NEVER STRENGTHEN A LOSING POSITION AND ALWAYS RESPECT YOUR INITIAL PLAN and always set STOP-LOSS orders. So I align myself with what @CZ said in this tweet. Imagine if I still owned my #bnb I would be doing very well right now. Holding long term remains the best investment strategy.

Why Plasma Isn’t Your Typical BlockchainListen, for years now, blockchains have been trying to do it all: smart contracts, NFTs blowing up, blockchain games, DeFi everywhere, payments, digital IDs… It’s sparked a ton of wild ideas, no doubt, but honestly, for something as basic as sending cash quick, safe, and cheap, it often falls flat. What if I told you Plasma gets it? Forget the jack-of-all-trades like Ethereum or Solana. @Plasma ? Laser-focused on one thing: stablecoins. Period. So its architecture is razor-sharp for that, and it changes everything. Take fees, for starters. On Ethereum, you transfer USDT and bam, gas fees wipe you out during rush hour. Solana’s cooler, but still that price rollercoaster. #Plasma ? Zero fees for USD₮. Nada. Picture it: daily payments, micro-tips, or massive corporate cash flows no friction, total game changer. And Bitcoin in the mix? Plasma integrates it right out of the gate, with a super clean, low-trust bridge. You slide your BTC into an EVM world without the hassle. Others? Sketchy external wrappers. Here, it’s native, so you mix BTC and stables without juggling ten wallets. Liquidity’s the hidden boss. Plasma launches with over a billion in stables. Imagine? No starting from a desert where your apps choke without fuel. Day one: deep markets, smooth trades, and bam real-world scale for everyone. Its design? Not Ethereum’s max decentralization for a thousand dApps. Nah, Plasma tunes for speed, reliability, stability in pure finance. Practical as hell. Perfect for global payments, mature stablecoin DeFi, everyday apps. Bottom line: Plasma owns its stablecoin niche to build infra that powers worldwide payments, solid DeFi, and frictionless finance without the headaches of generalists. Not for hype or speculation, but to actually work. What do you think? $XPL {spot}(XPLUSDT)

A very red week for ETFs… After a rebound week, we can see that confidence didn’t really hold, despite a slowdown on Thursday and Friday following the easing of tensions between the U.S. and Europe. An easing, yes but not truly confirmed yet. We’ve only had statements from Trump, with no official communication from Europe, and above all, we’re still waiting for an official signing of the deal he mentioned with OTAN . So clearly, in my view, the market is still stuck in indecision and waiting for confirmations before moving back into buy mode. As for me, as long as the price stays above $86,000, I’m fine with that because, as always, price will eventually move back up. I’m really looking forward to the U.S. session, because for now, the pre-market futures look pretty interesting to me! $BTC #Mag7Earnings

This kind of dead cat bounce is an important pattern to be aware of when you are fading altcoin pumps, because it can cut into your profitability a lot. Here $DUSK was down -55% from its top, and had been bleeding down for 3 days without a bounce Knowing that the initial pump was very concentrated in energy (almost 5x in 3 days), you have to expect it to bounce somewhere during the downtrend. So you can't add on bearish momentum too late, or you're at risk of being oversized when the dead cat bounce happens. What you'd rather want to do is take some profit progressively on the short as price goes down, and have sell orders higher to be able to double down on the short on the DCB. Because your risk is very defined on a lower high, and it's usually a trade that works well (Obviously there are exceptions, and defining where the DCB tops isn't exactly easy) @Dusk_Foundation #dusk $DUSK

$BTC Yesterday’s drop brought us right back above the cluster of buy limit orders, and the price bounced without even needing to trigger them. That’s a solid defense from the bulls, without even having to use their real line of defense. I’m not saying we won’t make a new low, but at this point, it’s impossible for me to exit everything while we’re close to a major buy cluster especially since there is no sell cluster above the price all the way up to $100,000!!! The risk/reward is simply too good to walk away now. However, once again, if we break below $86,000, I will definitely cut everything, because there will be nothing left to hold us up. #MarketSentimentToday

Why Institutional Finance Cannot Operate Without On-Chain PrivacyFinancial institutions cannot operate on fully transparent blockchains. Every public transaction exposes sensitive information: positions, allocation strategies, counterparties, and volumes. In a competitive environment, revealing this data is equivalent to handing an advantage to competitors. On the other hand, fully anonymous blockchains create a different but equally serious issue. They attract regulatory scrutiny, complicate compliance, and often lead to restrictions or exclusion from traditional financial rails. For institutional players, neither extreme is viable at scale. This is exactly the problem @Dusk_Foundation Network aims to solve with a key concept: auditable privacy. The goal is not to hide transactions from everyone, but to precisely control who can see what, and under which legal conditions. Using zero-knowledge proofs (ZK-proofs), transactions remain private by default. Amounts, counterparties, and transfers are not publicly exposed on the blockchain. However, when legally required, regulators can access the necessary information to verify compliance. This hybrid model unlocks real institutional adoption. It allows banks, funds, and market infrastructures to benefit from blockchain efficiency without compromising regulatory requirements. #dusk is not just a theoretical vision. The network is already being used to tokenize more than €300 million in real-world securities, in partnership with NPEX, a licensed Dutch exchange. This proves that auditable privacy is not an experimental idea, but a production-ready infrastructure. Privacy is no longer just a retail feature. It is becoming a foundational layer for TradFi’s migration on-chain. $DUSK {spot}(DUSKUSDT)

Plasma: A Stablecoin-Focused Blockchain Without CompromiseIn the blockchain universe, #Plasma stands out with its resolutely specialized approach. Unlike versatile networks like Ethereum or Solana, which support a wide range of decentralized applications, Plasma focuses exclusively on stablecoins. This concentration delivers major strategic advantages, especially as high-frequency, low-cost transactions become essential. Plasma’s primary strength lies in zero transaction fees for USDT transfers. While Ethereum imposes often-prohibitive gas costs and Solana features variable fees, Plasma removes these barriers entirely. This positions it ideally for recurring payments, corporate treasury operations, or large-scale cross-border transfers. Plasma also integrates a native Bitcoin bridge with minimized trust, enabling direct BTC transfers to an EVM-compatible environment. This rare feature among existing blockchains facilitates interoperability between the leading cryptocurrency and DeFi applications. The mechanism relies on independent validators running full Bitcoin nodes, ensuring security and transparency. At launch, Plasma benefited from over $1 billion in initial stablecoin liquidity, guaranteeing immediate market depth. This strong foundation supports weekly DEX volumes of $319 million, a TVL exceeding $4.8 billion USD, and rapid adoption with over 500,000 active addresses. The recent NEAR Intents integration further strengthens its position, capturing 39% of cross-chain USDT flows. Technically, Plasma prioritizes an architecture optimized for speed, reliability, and zero costs, rather than Ethereum’s absolute decentralization. PlasmaBFT delivers efficient consensus, complemented by over 100 DeFi protocols and 10 fiat onramps. Aave lending on Plasma already reaches $5.9 billion. In summary, Plasma meets the demands of global payment systems and large-scale financial protocols. Its $XPL token, with a $230 million market cap up 5% daily, reflects this specialized ecosystem’s momentum. For decentralized finance players, @Plasma offers infrastructure free from generalist blockchain trade-offs.

When a Simple Click Reveals Magnetar Finance on DuskEVMThe @Dusk_Foundation Intern’s day was supposed to be routine. Officially, he was conducting “ecosystem research,” but in practice, like most testnet work, it meant exploring, testing interactions, and quietly observing activity on DuskEVM, an environment still in its experimental phase yet already showing steady on-chain activity. Since the launch of the #dusk EVM testnet, dozens of contracts have been deployed each week, mostly related to infrastructure testing, privacy mechanisms, and on-chain compliance experiments. Over time, certain names become familiar. Others stand out immediately the moment they appear. That’s exactly what happened with Magnetar Finance. The name surfaced during a review of recent transactions, without any prior announcement or public communication. No teaser, no explanatory thread, just a quiet but undeniable presence on the network. Curiosity quickly took over. The $DUSK Intern began examining the available data more closely. The contracts linked to Magnetar Finance were active, properly deployed, and interacting with the testnet in a structured and deliberate way. Nothing suggested a random or short-lived experiment. On DuskEVM, every deployment leaves a clear trail. Timestamps, contract interactions, and wallet behavior often reveal whether something is a casual test or part of a broader preparation phase. In this case, several indicators pointed toward the latter. In the Web3 ecosystem, it’s common for teams to test their technical foundations long before making any public announcements. Testnets are used to assess stability, transaction costs, and architectural compatibility, especially in environments designed around privacy and compliance. Magnetar Finance appeared to follow this exact approach. No marketing signals, no public promises, just code and measurable on-chain interactions. This kind of silence is often characteristic of teams focused on validating their product before stepping into the spotlight. At this stage, it’s still too early to draw firm conclusions. But one thing is clear: in an ecosystem where subtle signals often precede major announcements, the appearance of Magnetar Finance on the DuskEVM testnet is far from insignificant. And as always in Web3, those who pay close attention tend to see what’s coming first.

How Plasma Redefines the Use of Stablecoins on BlockchainOver the past few years, stablecoins have become one of the most important pillars of the crypto ecosystem. With a total supply exceeding 250 billion dollars and trillions of dollars moved every month, they now function as a global financial rail. Yet a fundamental contradiction remains: most blockchains were never designed with stablecoins in mind. Networks like Ethereum or Bitcoin are general-purpose by nature. They prioritize decentralization, security, and programmability, but struggle when it comes to fast, low-cost, high-volume payments. High transaction fees, network congestion, and unpredictable settlement times limit the practical use of stablecoins for everyday payments, cross-border transfers, and large-scale DeFi applications. @Plasma was built in direct response to this problem. Instead of adapting stablecoins to an existing architecture, Plasma introduces a blockchain designed specifically for stablecoins from the ground up. This focus removes many of the structural trade-offs seen on general-purpose chains. One of Plasma’s most distinctive features is zero-fee USD₮ transfers. Unlike Ethereum’s gas fees or Solana’s variable costs, Plasma enables fee-free USDT transactions, making it suitable for frequent payments, remittances, and high-volume financial flows. Another key differentiator is native Bitcoin integration. Plasma includes a trust-minimized Bitcoin bridge, allowing BTC to move directly into an EVM-compatible environment. This level of interoperability remains rare across most blockchain networks. Liquidity is also addressed from day one. Plasma launches with over one billion dollars in stablecoin liquidity, ensuring that developers and users can transact efficiently without the typical cold-start problem faced by new blockchains. From a technical standpoint, #Plasma makes a deliberate design choice. While networks like Ethereum aim to support every possible use case, Plasma optimizes specifically for speed, cost efficiency, and reliability in stablecoin transactions. This specialization creates an infrastructure better suited for global payments, DeFi protocols, and financial applications that demand predictability and scale. By focusing on stablecoins rather than trying to serve all applications at once, Plasma presents a pragmatic vision: a blockchain built not as an experiment, but as a financial infrastructure ready for real-world At the core of the network lies $XPL , the native token of Plasma Network. XPL plays a central role in securing the blockchain, facilitating transactions, and aligning incentives across the ecosystem. It forms the economic backbone that allows Plasma to maintain performance while ensuring long-term stability and sustainability.

Why Plasma Is Worth Following Today@Plasma was not built to chase the fantasy of the next “Ethereum killer.” The project starts from a far more practical observation: despite all the innovation in Web3, using stablecoins in everyday life is still too complex, too slow, or too expensive for most people. That is where #Plasma positions itself. Its goal is to turn stablecoins into a true payment tool, something that feels as natural to use as cash or sending a message on WhatsApp. In practice, this means removing the usual friction points: no need to manage gas tokens for basic transactions, near-instant transfers, and fees low enough to fade into the background. Plasma is not trying to rebuild the ecosystem from scratch. Full compatibility with Ethereum is a core design choice, allowing existing applications, wallets, and protocols to integrate seamlessly. This technical continuity matters. Real adoption does not come from isolated experiments, but from infrastructure that fits naturally into what already exists. Another important aspect is scope. Plasma does not stop at stablecoins. Its roadmap gradually expands toward privacy-focused features and deeper integration of Bitcoin-native assets, paving the way for more advanced financial use cases that remain aligned with real-world constraints. In Web3, stablecoins are already the backbone of on-chain activity. Plasma aims to become their default transport layer: the chain where digital dollars actually move, at scale, without unnecessary complexity. If your interest in crypto goes beyond hype cycles and short-term speculation, and you care about practical, sustainable adoption, Plasma is a project that clearly deserves close attention. $XPL
