In today's era dominated by Rollup, do we still remember the name that ignited the first spark for Ethereum scaling? — @Plasma.
In the 'ancient times' of blockchain, when everyone was troubled by network congestion and sky-high gas fees, the Plasma solution emerged. It created a series of 'sub-chains' and moved computation off the mainnet, painting for us the grand blueprint of 'off-chain scaling' on a large scale for the first time. Its core idea — anchoring assets on the mainnet while processing massive transactions off-chain — continues to inspire many scaling solutions today.
Although it has been gradually surpassed by later entrants like zkRollup and Optimistic Rollup due to challenges such as complex user experience and long exit cycles, without Plasma's exploration, there would be no flourishing Layer 2 today. It is the true pioneer and foundational figure.
