Plasma XPL is designed as a Layer 1 blockchain focused on stablecoin settlement. Instead of trying to support every possible use case, it narrows its attention to one thing that matters in real markets: moving stable value efficiently.
It keeps full EVM compatibility, which means developers can build using familiar Ethereum tools. At the same time, it introduces sub second finality through its own consensus system, aiming to reduce the waiting time between sending and confirming a transaction.
What stands out to me is that stablecoins can be used as gas. Users do not need to hold a separate volatile token just to move USDT. That removes friction, especially for retail users in high adoption regions.
They are also anchoring to Bitcoin for additional neutrality and censorship resistance. I see Plasma as infrastructure built around how stablecoins are actually used, not just how they look in theory.
