#Plasma chain architecture is a game-changer for building scalable blockchain applications. Here's how it works:
- Root Chain: The main blockchain (e.g., Ethereum) provides security and finality.
- Child Chain (Plasma Chain): A separate blockchain handles transactions and computation, anchored to the Root Chain.
- Operators: Validators or nodes manage the Child Chain and submit commitments to the Root Chain.
Key Essentials:
- Scalability: High transaction throughput and low latency.
- Security: Leverages the Root Chain's security.
- Data Availability: Ensuring data is accessible for validation and dispute resolution.
- Exit mechanisms: Allowing users to exit the Plasma Chain and return assets to the Root Chain.
By offloading transactions to a Child Chain, Plasma architecture boosts scalability while maintaining the security of the Root Chain. This makes it an attractive solution for high-performance blockchain applications.
