#plasma $XPL Plasma: Scaling Ethereum for a Faster Future
Plasma is a Layer-2 scaling solution designed to make Ethereum faster, cheaper, and more efficient. By creating smaller “child chains” that handle transactions off the main Ethereum network, Plasma reduces congestion and lowers fees while maintaining security. Users can transact quickly without waiting for the main blockchain to confirm every action. Its exit mechanism ensures funds remain safe, even if a child chain experiences issues. Plasma paved the way for modern scaling technologies like rollups, showing how off-chain solutions can improve blockchain performance. It remains a key milestone in Ethereum’s growth and adoption.
