PLASMA EXPOSES THE TRUTH: FINALITY IS NOT ACCEPTANCE

⚠️ This deep dive into PlasmaBFT reveals a critical operational gap for merchants.

• Payment finality on Plasma is instant and irreversible—no waiting for blocks.

• However, internal merchant workflows (inventory release, fulfillment) still rely on authorization, not just finality.

• This creates a visible, brief pause where the receipt is settled but action is blocked by internal rules (fraud checks, price thresholds).

The core question shifts: Is the receipt usable? Merchants must now explicitly distinguish between paid and shippable status. Plasma removes the buffer time that ambiguity provided.
