#plasma$XPL Plasma is a powerful layer-2 scaling solution designed to improve the performance of the Ethereum blockchain. As decentralized applications continue to grow, Ethereum often faces congestion, high gas fees, and slow transaction speeds. Plasma helps solve these issues by processing transactions off-chain while keeping security anchored to the main Ethereum network. This structure allows faster transfers, lower costs, and better user experience. By enabling child chains that report back to Ethereum, Plasma increases scalability without compromising decentralization. It plays an important role in supporting mass adoption of blockchain technology and helps Ethereum remain efficient, secure, and capable of handling global demand.
