@Plasma is carving out a new path in the blockchain world as a purpose-built Layer 1 for stablecoin payments. By combining zero-fee USDT transfers with EVM compatibility and a trust-minimized Bitcoin bridge, Plasma aims to make global digital money movement faster, cheaper, and more scalable than legacy systems and older chains like Ethereum. $XPL isn’t just a gas token — it secures the network through staking, funds validator rewards, and backs future ecosystem growth as Plasma seeks to become the settlement layer for stablecoins at internet scale. With features like custom gas token support and modular privacy tools in development, Plasma is building infrastructure that could unlock seamless remittances, on-chain payments, and DeFi products at low cost. #plasma
