The Quiet Logic Behind a Stablecoin-Only Chain
What makes Plasma interesting isn’t that it’s fast or EVM-compatible plenty of networks can say that. It’s the decision to treat stablecoins not as one use case among many, but as the reason the chain exists at all. Plasma feels designed around how money is actually used on-chain today: sent, settled, and moved with minimal friction. Sub-second finality reduces hesitation, stablecoin-based gas removes volatility from the payment experience, and gasless USDT transfers strip away complexity most users never wanted. There’s no attempt to chase every narrative or reinvent crypto economics. The bet is simpler that boring, predictable settlement is more valuable than endless flexibility. It’s a narrow thesis, but one grounded in real behavior rather than future promises.
