You: Why Plasma? Aren't all blockchains fine for stablecoins?
Me: "Fine" isn't good enough for payments. Plasma makes stablecoins work like real money: send, done, forget.
You: What's different?
Me: It's EVM compatible with Reth. Developers don't need to learn new things. Payment apps need reliability, not just new tech.
You: Is the speed real?
Me: We aim for under a second finality with PlasmaBFT. Blocks are final enough for merchants and companies to consider settlements complete.
You: Fees ruin the experience.
Me: Plasma offers gasless stablecoin transfers for simple payments, with fees paid in stablecoins. Users won't need a volatile token for costs.
You: What about Bitcoin?
Me: Bitcoin anchoring shows neutrality. The network won't be easily pressured, important for large-value settlements.
You: What's the XPL token for?
Me: XPL is the engine and security. Validators stake it, it's key to incentives, and it supports the chain's reliability. Stablecoins are what people use.
You: What's the risk?
Me: The risk is stablecoins becoming bigger than crypto culture. If Plasma works, stablecoins will move instantly, predictably, and at scale. XPL will quietly ensure the system's trust.
