Plasma is a L1 block which is created with a single purpose in mind: to ensure stablecoins move like money. Plasma adjusts the blockchain to stablecoins, rather than compelling payments to conform to the generic chains. Reth-powered full compatibility With full compatibility with Ethereum, developers can deploy Ethereum applications with ease, and PlasmaBFT provides sub-second finality to real-time settlements.
The only difference indeed is Plasma is a stablecoin-first design. The lack of gas during USDT transfer and the possibility of paying fees in the stablecoins directly eliminates the friction on the sides of users and institutions. That is why Plasma will be particularly useful in highly adoption areas where stablecoins are already acting as digital dollars.
Bitcoin-anchored mechanisms, which enhance the nearly impossible accounts of security and neutrality, reinforce the bottom layer of censorship resistance and trust. The other pillar is liquidity where Plasma is quickly turning into a stablecoin lending and settlement hub. Plasma puts itself between a position of being an experimental chain or financial infrastructure designed to be financially applicable to the contemporaneous mobility of money by encompassing speed, liquidity and familiarity to developers.
