@Plasma Banyak orang mungkin berpikir ini hanya kolaborasi lintas rantai biasa
Tapi saya menatap kalimat itu "Harga setara CEX (harga setara CEX)" untuk waktu yang lama.
Ini mengingatkan saya pada dilema yang saya hadapi setiap kali saya menjual sejumlah besar spot di CEX:
Meskipun saya takut pembekuan kartu dan penyisipan jarum, saya harus menanggungnya demi kedalaman itu.
On-chain itu aman, tetapi slippage itu benar-benar menyakitkan.
Ini telah menjadi kebuntuan antara DEX dan CEX selama waktu yang lama.
Tetapi logika yang diintegrasikan oleh Plasma kali ini sebenarnya adalah tentang 'serangan pengurangan dimensi'

Awalnya, saya percaya Vanar adalah blockchain lainnya. Namun semakin saya tahu, semakin saya melihat bahwa ia memiliki tujuan yang lebih tinggi. Vanar adalah protokol Layer-1 berbasis Ai yang merupakan jaringan berbasis Ethereum. Ini sama tetapi merupakan aset tokenisasi, atau penghasilan kehidupan nyata yang didukung oleh pembayaran ultra-cepat, dan bahkan ramah lingkungan serta terjangkau.

Tim menjual Vanar sebagai PayFi, hiburan, dan aset tokenisasi blockchain. Satu-satunya tujuan yang dimilikinya adalah menjadi tulang punggung ekonomi digital generasi berikutnya. Makalah ini akan menjelaskan arsitektur Vanar, karakteristik yang khas, desain token, dan peristiwa pasar terbaru dengan kata-kata sederhana dan pendapat saya sendiri.

Arsitektur Dusk tidak berdasarkan pada rantai yang ada; ia dirancang untuk menangani keuangan yang diatur. Attestation Singkat (SA) adalah algoritma konsensus dasar. Ini memastikan finalitas transaksi dalam hitungan detik, memenuhi kebutuhan pasar keuangan (throughput tinggi, latensi rendah). SA adalah sistem bukti kepemilikan di mana produsen blok dan validator mengesahkan blok dengan bukti pengetahuan nol. Untuk berbagi informasi dengan cepat, #dusk menggunakan Kadcast, protokol peer-to-peer yang didasarkan pada tabel hash terdistribusi Kademlia. Kadcast mengorganisir jaringan menjadi pohon hierarkis dan mengirim pesan ke rekan-rekan dalam jarak yang semakin jauh untuk mengonsumsi bandwidth lebih sedikit dan menyebarkan pesan dengan cepat dan dapat diandalkan.

I have been following the development of web-native infrastructure, and one of the biggest discontinuities that I continued to notice is that blockchains are not designed to store the massive files that modern applications require: game art, AI models, high-resolution NFTs. The latter created the necessity of returning to the old cloud services and undermined the decentralization that we intended to achieve. The disappointment with this inadequacy resulted in my visit to Walrus, which does not consider data availability as a second-order concern.

Walrus is a decentralized system of data networks used concurrently with the Sui blockchain. It converts storage capacity and data stored within storage capacity to on-chain objects. Those can be programmed and can be governed by the same economic logic as other crypto primitives. I will discuss in plain language how Walrus addresses the data problem in the architectural, economic and developer-experience perspectives in this article. I will also discuss its technical innovations like Red Stuff and Seal, outline the token economics, compare it to other networks of decentralized storage and my thoughts on why it is significant.

Using Data as Infrastructure.

Fundamentally, Walrus acknowledges that blockchains are incapable of efficiently storing large and unstructured data. The customary off-chain, decentralized storage is either expensive to replicate in its entirety or depends on off-chain pinning, a concept that brings about trusted intermediaries. Walrus transforms it by storing programs programmably: blobs and quotas are stored as Sui objects. The MoveVM as Smart contracts can be used to auto-renew, provide access control and connect storage operations to larger application logic. Since the said objects reside on the chain, their condition and economics remain transparent and auditable.

Economics are key. Users pay to use the storage in advance and do not rent it as long as they know, but rather a specific storage duration on a silent network. The charges are then redirected in the long run to nodes that demonstrate that they hold the data at their disposal. WAL tokens are staked by storage providers and rewards are based on the performance of the nodes. Articles that do not store information or fabricate counterfeit evidence are slashed or penalized. This is a prepaid model that is proof-of-storage to avoid volatility in prices and store corruption in silence. Walrus makes storage available as reliable infrastructure and not a best effort service by treating storage as on-chain objects with economic guarantees.

Red Stuff: Erasure Coding of Physical Networks.
Red Stuff is a two dimensional erasure code scheme that would be considered among the best projects in the engineering works of Walrus. Other systems will either copy whole files, wasting bandwidth or simple erasure codes that will require the download of the entire blob in order to restore lost information. Red Stuff transforms every file into a set of primary and secondary slivers through a large number of nodes. When a sliver is lost only the missing portion has to be re-fetched; recovery bandwidth is identical to the lost data and not the entire file. This has a drastic effect on repair expenses, and lets the network run with approximately 4.5 replicas per file instead of 6 or more without affect on durability.
Red Stuff is asynchronically constructed. Latency varies and nodes are destroyed and created in a real world environment. Most of the erasure schemes rely on synchronous messages, and hence they can be subject to a timing attack. The proofs of Red Stuff can even operate with out of order messages, and allow enemies to claim that they are storing information. Walrus also spins storage committees in place to support node churn so that the data is always accessible even when the transition occurs. Such innovations introduce the decentralized setting of cloud resilience and efficiency.
Simple Storage and Retrieval Programmably.
What is the programmability of data? On Walrus, a blob is not just a URL. It is an object that has a life cycle. Smart contracts have the capability to automatically renew storage, ensure access to data can only be accessed or modified by a particular person, and whatever actions are performed can be paid with a token payment or ruled by a governance rule. As an illustration, an NFT can refer to a storage object with its renewal being charged using the royalties of the NFT, where the artwork will never be lost. A dApp may demand that there was evidence that a model dataset has been stored properly and then release funds to a compute provider.
This puts storage logic into the same composable environment as DeFi and governance, but it is brittle and off-chain. All objects are on-chain; hence, it is atomic, upgradable and auditable. This will be a massive simplification to developers who have had a hard time pinning services or with the unreliable IPFS links.
Seal: Programmable Secrets Management.
Secure storage of data is not the only challenge; several of the use cases require the control of who views or modifies data. In mid-2025, Walrus released Seal, a decentralized secrets-management service which employed threshold encryption. Seal allows its developers to encrypt data or secrets then to establish fine-grained decryption criteria. In smart-contracts, a storage provider never encounters plaintext and decryption only occurs based on the conditions embedded in the smart-contracts. This introduces new types of dApps:
* Data vaults owned by the users: It will allow users to save sensitive data and only provide access to a doctor or notary, upon meeting conditions. These conditions are imposed in the network without a central administrator.
* Token-gated media: Musicians or filmmakers will be allowed to sell access to their work. Walrus encrypts the content and can be decrypted by the holders of a specific NFT only. Storage is decentralized which means creators do not require a web server.
* AI model provisioning AI companies can safely output weights or APIs. A customer who has paid is provided with a decryption key that it can access within a specific time, and all the terms are placed on-chain.
Besides Seal demonstrates, Walrus is not only a storage layer but it is about managing data flows in a decentralized economy. Together with the efficiency of Red Stuff and programmable storage model, Seal makes Walrus a complete stack data platform.

The use of Token Economics and Incentives.
Walrus uses its own token, WAL. The token allows the users to pre-pay storage costs, stake on providers, and vote in governance. Its economic model is clearly defined: a user deposits funds depending on the selected duration of storage and the funds are released in small amounts to nodes with the condition of verification of availability. In case of misbehavior, a node can have its stake slashed and the prepaid storage of the user will be transferred to a healthier node. This match between users and providers is necessary to the long term sustainability.
The approach in the token allocation equalizes neighborhood incentives and the development of the core. In line with what Walrus has done on its token utility page, 43 percent of the supply will be allocated to community, 10 percent will be allocated to airdrops to early adopters, and 10 percent to network incentives and subsidies. The core contributors will have 30 per cent with early founders and Mysten Labs (15 per cent each). Another 7 % goes to investors. This design finances continued research, reward builders and makes adoption more likely without creating concentration of power in one group.
Ecosystem and Adoption
Walrus is not just a research project, it actually drives applications. The social platforms of SuiSign, a decentralized social platform, are then stored in Walrus (user profiles and user signatures), and the character art and metadata is stored in game studios like Pudgy Penguins. Flock.io is an AI platform based on Walrus using the programmable storage and Seal to provide machine-learning models with security. Decentralized music streaming and privacy-preserving voting are just some examples of dozens of projects starting with the network hackathons and grant programs. The core storage layer is composable, therefore each new project adds to a data availability commons.
Comparison of Walrus with Other Storage networks.
In an attempt to get a clear understanding of where Walrus would fit, I related it to two popular decentralized storage systems: Filecoin and IPFS. Each solution will be rated (out of 10) based on its availability, cost efficiency, programmability, and secrets management as shown in the chart below. These scores indicate trends in the industry and my exposure to the protocols.
The highest score for Walrus is in the programmability and secrets management since it views storage as on-chain objects and it also provides encryption using Seal. Filecoin is well available and cost effective in nature yet does not have a complete programmability layer. IPFS is cost-effective to address simple content but uses external pinning services to be persistent and lacks in-built encryption and a programmable renewal.
Image of Distribution of Tokens.

The representation of the distribution among the stakeholders highlights Walrus priorities on community adoption, but core development funding.
Most of the tokens will be allocated to community projects, and large denominations will be given to the initial donors and Mysten Labs to guarantee the further development of the protocol. The share of investors is a relatively small portion and network incentives are designated to user subsidies and storage rewards.
Reflections and Future Outlook.
In my own opinion, Walrus is a mature web-scale decentralization. It removes the economic and technical failures of previous systems by making storage a primitive on-chain and aligning incentives through prepaid charges and slashing, as well as inventing novel techniques in erasure coding. Its programmability and Seal integration allow applications, including AI, to music streaming, which was not achievable with the traditional storage networks.
#walrus is not without risks. The economic model presupposes the increase in demand; in case the storage demand is not increasing, the incentives of nodes might be weakened. The fact that it depends on the Sui chain implies that disruptions in the base-layer will be transferred to storage assurances. However, the open architecture, vibrant community, and significant research pipeline (with current effort in Quilt to support data analytics and cross-chain bridging) puts me at ease that it will remain the leader in the field of decentralized infrastructure.
I do not think this age of viewing data as an externality has been eliminated. Walrus demonstrates that storage may be as programmable, as secure, and cost-efficient as token transfers. It provides a strong alternative to developers and users who desire a censorship-resistant and durable storage with in-built privacy settings. The solutions such as Walrus might be the invisible hand beneath the water to ensure that the decentralized applications are actually self-sufficient, as the Web3 ecosystem matures.
$WAL @WalrusProtocol

Sejak didirikan pada 2018, #dusk telah beralih dari menjadi "koin privasi" menjadi blockchain Layer 1 (L1) yang mendasar untuk generasi berikutnya dari keuangan global. Pada Januari 2026, proyek ini telah beralih dari fase pengembangan intensif—yang berpuncak pada peluncuran mainnet 7 Januari 2026—ke periode ekspansi pasar yang agresif.

Artikel ini membahas posisi pasar saat ini dari $DUSK , katalis pertumbuhannya, dan proposisi nilai uniknya dalam infrastruktur keuangan institusional.

#Plasma is a next-generation Layer-1 blockchain engineered specifically for stablecoin transactions. Unlike general-purpose smart contract platforms, Plasma’s core mission is to serve as the settlement layer for stablecoins — chiefly Tether USD₮ — by combining full EVM compatibility (via Reth), sub-second finality (via PlasmaBFT), and stablecoin-centric innovations such as gasless USD₮ transfers and stablecoin-first fee mechanisms.
🌐 What Makes Plasma Unique? A Technical and Strategic Overview
At its core, Plasma addresses a growing pain in the cryptocurrency ecosystem: the inefficiency of stablecoin transfers. While stablecoins represent one of the largest and most liquid segments of on-chain activity — with tens of billions in global supply and trillions moving annually — the majority of this value still transacts on blockchains that were not designed for settlement rails. Plasma changes this by:
Implementing gasless USD₮ transfers for basic transactions, dramatically lowering cost barriers for global payments.Providing stablecoin holders with the ability to pay fees directly in stablecoins, making native token holding optional for basic usage.Leveraging PlasmaBFT, a Fast HotStuff-inspired consensus mechanism, to achieve sub-second finality and high throughput, critical for payment applications.Maintaining EVM compatibility via the Reth client, enabling seamless porting of Ethereum dApps and tooling.This architectural blend — a settlement-optimized chain that is still developer-friendly — positions Plasma to capture value that traditional blockchains currently miss or commoditize.
💰 Market Capitalization: From Fundraising to Token Launch
1. Valuation Through Fundraising
Before its token launch, Plasma demonstrated strong demand from the investment community:
In early 2025, Plasma raised $20 million in Series A funding, led by Framework Ventures with participation from Bitfinex, Tether leadership, and notable angel investors such as Peter Thiel.The project later expanded its token sale with a public raise targeting $50 million at a $500 million valuation, which was massively oversubscribedThese fundraising milestones underscore early confidence in Plasma’s thesis: that stablecoins need a dedicated settlement layer.
2. XPL Token Market Capitalization
With the launch of its native token XPL — which functions as the gas, staking, and reward token of the Plasma network — market dynamics shifted into high gear:
On debut, the $XPL token reached an initial market capitalization above $2.4 billion, based on early trading prices and circulating supply.At launch, approximately 18% of the total 10 billion XPL supply was in circulation, translating price performance into meaningful market valuation.Putting these figures in perspective, a $2+ billion market cap at launch for a chain dedicated solely to stablecoin settlement is significant: it places Plasma in a valuation tier that rivals or surpasses many multi-purpose L1 projects at similar stages. 📈 Growth Indicators: Liquidity, TVL, and Ecosystem Uptake
Beyond token price, Plasma’s real growth story lies in ecosystem adoption and liquidity metrics:
1. Stablecoin Liquidity and TVL
@Plasma launched with over $1 billion in stablecoin liquidity locked, reaching this level faster than most chains historically.Over time, reports indicated stablecoin holdings on Plasma exceeding $7 billion, signaling deep liquidity interest.At one point, estimates showed Plasma as one of the top five chains by stablecoin market cap, trailing only legacy leaders like Ethereum, Tron, Solana, and BSC.
These figures show not just speculative interest but real capital flowing into stablecoin settlements and DeFi use cases, which typically require genuine utility and composability.
2. Adoption by DeFi Protocols
Data from leading analytics providers — such as DeFiLlama — signify strong initial integration:
Major protocols like Aave had tens of billions of USD₮ on Plasma in deposits shortly after launch, making it one of Aave’s largest markets outside of Ethereum.This kind of adoption reflects confidence from institutional-grade DeFi projects in Plasma’s security, throughput, and stablecoin handling capabilities.
📊 Market Growth: Where Plasma Fits in the Broader Stablecoin Landscape
Plasma’s rise must be contextualized against the backdrop of the broader crypto ecosystem:
The stablecoin industry itself has ballooned into a multi-hundred-billion-dollar asset class, with daily transaction volumes rivaling major global payment systems.Traditional smart contract chains like Ethereum and Tron — while dominant in stablecoin activity today — often suffer from high fees, congestion, or misaligned incentives for settlement-level use cases.Plasma’s purpose-built design taps directly into this inefficiency, aiming to turn stablecoin usage from a costly application into a core utility. This shift could catalyze more on-chain settlement volume.If Plasma continues to expand in TVL, liquidity, and transactional throughput, it could reshape how stablecoins are routed and settled, capturing value that existing chains currently yield to transaction fees alone.
🧠 Conclusion: Strategic Positioning and Future Prospects

Plasma’s market cap and growth trajectory reflect a unique moment in crypto infrastructure:
Its launch valuation and subsequent market cap demonstrate investor and trader confidence in a stablecoin-centric L1, an idea that a few years ago might have seemed niche.Rapid accumulation of TVL and protocol integrations shows that stablecoin liquidity — not just speculative trading — is flowing to Plasma.By combining Bitcoin security, Ethereum compatibility, and tailored payment features, Plasma positions itself as the go-to settlement layer for digital dollars and other stable assets.

1. Apa Itu Jaringan Dusk?
Didirikan dengan misi untuk mendamaikan privasi blockchain dan kepatuhan regulasi, Jaringan Dusk adalah blockchain Layer-1 yang dirancang untuk keuangan institusional, DeFi yang patuh, dan aset dunia nyata yang ter-tokenisasi (RWA). Tidak seperti blockchain publik yang menyiarkan semua rincian transaksi, #dusk menggunakan kriptografi zero-knowledge (seperti bukti PLONK dan zk-SNARKs) untuk memungkinkan kontrak pintar yang menjaga privasi yang tetap memungkinkan pengawasan yang diatur saat diperlukan — pilihan desain krusial bagi institusi keuangan tradisional yang mencari manfaat blockchain tanpa mengorbankan kerahasiaan data atau kepatuhan hukum.

#Plasma is a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain tailored specifically for stablecoin settlement and global payments, differentiating itself from general-purpose chains like Ethereum or Solana. It is engineered to enable high-throughput, sub-second finality, and ultra-low or zero gas costs for USD₮ (USDT) transfers, addressing core pain points in on-chain stablecoin usage such as high fees, slow settlements, and fragmented liquidity.
Core Technical Features
PlasmaBFT Consensus — A high-performance Byzantine Fault Tolerant system designed for sub-second finality and throughput suitable for payment-scale activity.EVM Compatibility via Reth — Full Ethereum Virtual Machine support, enabling developers to port or build Solidity-based DeFi and payments applications easily.Stablecoin-Native Gas Model — Gas abstraction that enables certain stablecoin operations (notably USDT transfers) to be gasless via a protocol-managed paymaster, while complex transactions still settle in XPL or other whitelisted assets.Bitcoin-Anchored Security — A trust-minimized bridge to Bitcoin enhances censorship resistance and neutrality by leveraging Bitcoin’s security model.Confidential Transfers (Roadmap) — Optional privacy features for compliant confidential stablecoin transactions.These features are designed to make Plasma particularly attractive for remittances, micropayments, payroll, commerce settlement, and cross-chain liquidity routing.
Early Ecosystem Growth and Liquidity
Mainnet Launch and Initial Liquidity
When Plasma’s mainnet beta launched on September 25, 2025, it entered the market with significant liquidity backing — reportedly over $2 billion in stablecoins deployed across 100+ partner protocols, including major DeFi players like Aave, Ethena, and Euler.
This initial liquidity provided deep markets for USD₮ trading and lending, placing Plasma among the top blockchains by stablecoin supply shortly after launch. According to on-chain data, Plasma quickly became one of the largest chains for USDT balances, ranking just behind Ethereum and Tron in stablecoin deposits within its first weeks.
Institutional Integrations and Partnerships
Strategic partnerships have broadened Plasma’s liquidity and settlement reach:
Cobo integration lets institutional payment clients perform zero-gas stablecoin transfers on Plasma’s network, reducing settlement costs for OTC desks and corporate flows.Bitget Wallet’s cross-chain bridge enables seamless transfers from Solana, BNB Chain, and others into Plasma, enhancing cross-ecosystem liquidity.NEAR Intents integration (January 2026) connects Plasma and its native token XPL, along with the USDT0 stablecoin, to a shared liquidity pool spanning 125+ assets across 25+ blockchains — greatly improving capital efficiency and cross-chain settlement volume.This cross-chain connectivity not only broadens user access but also amplifies Plasma’s liquidity footprint across the crypto ecosystem.
Market Cap, Token Distribution, and Price Performance
Token Launch and Early Valuation
Plasma’s native token $XPL launched alongside the mainnet. Early reports indicated high interest in the public sale, with substantial demand and oversubscription.  Initial circulating supply metrics put the token’s genesis supply at 10 billion XPL, with around 18 % initially circulating post-launch.
Volatility and Market Dynamics
Despite strong early liquidity and ecosystem activity, XPL’s price experienced notable volatility in Q4 2025. Major drops — including a roughly 90 % plunge from its early highs — highlighted execution and adoption challenges following the initial hype.
Market participants debated the causes, including:
Large token movements to exchanges preceding major price declines.Community speculation around insider selling and algorithmic trading impacts, which the founder publicly addressed.These price dynamics reflect a common pattern for newly launched Web3 infrastructure tokens — where early interest and liquidity do not always translate immediately into sustained price support without matched adoption and usage. However, integrating with cross-chain liquidity protocols and targeted campaigns (e.g., Binance CreatorPad, yield offerings) may help stabilize long-term engagement.
Market Cap Considerations
Because the Plasma ecosystem is deeply tied to stablecoin volume rather than purely XPL token speculation, traditional market cap metrics need contextual interpretation:
Stablecoin Liquidity “TVL” (Total Value Locked or stablecoin deposits) has been a stronger indicator of economic activity than XPL’s price alone.Liquidity figures — such as daily and cumulative cross-chain stablecoin movement via USDT0 totaling tens of billions annually — demonstrate robust usage independent of native token price metrics.
