Every year, workers send $905 billion back home to their families. But here's the painful truth: they lose 6.4% on average just in fees. Some corridors charge over 10%. That's a hidden tax on the world's poorest workers.
@Plasma is changing this with zero-fee USDT transfers.
The Problem by Numbers:
$905B in global remittances annually
$685B flows to low/middle-income countries
6.4% average cost to send $200
40% of ALL blockchain fees go to simple USDT transfers
The @Plasma Solution:
Through protocol-managed paymasters (EIP-4337), @Plasma sponsors gas for USDT transfers. The Plasma Foundation prepays these costs, making transfers genuinely FREE for users.
Built-In Protections:
Identity verification prevents abuse
Rate limits per wallet stop spam
Reserved blockspace ensures transfers always go through
Real-World Impact:
A Filipino worker in Dubai sending $500 monthly home saves ~$32/month in fees. That's $384/year—meaningful money for families in developing economies.
For 2.4 billion unbanked people, @Plasma offers:
Self-custody (your money, your control)
24/7 availability (no bank hours)
Instant settlement (not 3-5 business days)
Zero transfer fees
