Plasma Chain is a Layer 1 network built for stablecoin payments, enabling fast, secure, and borderless digital transactions at global scale. Instead of repurposing general-purpose blockchains, it focuses entirely on stablecoins, which is crypto’s largest use case after Bitcoin.
The network introduces features such as zero-fee USDT transfers, customizable gas tokens, and confidential transaction options. Together, these innovations reduce friction for users and developers, making payments simpler, cheaper, and more flexible than on traditional blockchain infrastructures.
With stablecoins already exceeding hundreds of billions in supply and trillions in transaction volume, Plasma targets the role of settlement infrastructure. Its combination of high throughput, deep liquidity, and EVM compatibility offers a foundation for internet-scale financial applications and payments.
