Plasma is a blockchain scalability solution created to tackle one of the biggest challenges of the ecosystem: network congestion and high fees. Its operation is based on the use of secondary chains connected to a main blockchain, where transactions are processed off the base layer and only key information is recorded on the main network. This allows for greater speed, cost reduction, and a more efficient experience for users. Although there are alternatives today like rollups, Plasma was a fundamental pillar in the development of scaling and many of its principles are still present in current Layer 2 solutions. In a market that seeks mass adoption, the infrastructure that Plasma helped build remains key. 🚀
