Attention depreciation is real. When a project stops delivering adrenaline to the timeline, the market subconsciously marks it down — even if the underlying fundamentals are strengthening. That’s the phase I believe Plasma is in right now.
No loud influencer campaigns. No constant partnership banners. No daily excitement loops. In the eyes of many, silence equals decline. But pricing logic and real adoption rarely move in sync.
Behind that quiet surface, a different story is forming. MassPay, a payment orchestration platform handling billions, views Plasma as a backend for USD settlement flows. Custom gas tokens like USDT and even pBTC remove native-token friction. ZK-secured exits modernize the old Plasma design, reducing the risk narrative that once held it back. And unlike Rollups with hard fee floors, Plasma’s architecture pursues near-zero interaction cost — critical for high-frequency, real-world usage.
One track is losing market attention. The other is building merchant-level stickiness offline.
If 2026 delivers a measurable usage inflection, the market won’t debate — it will reprice.
I prefer watching silent infrastructure compound rather than chasing loud volatility.
Be patient. Time favors builders, not noise.
