@Plasma @Plasma is a Layer-2 scaling framework designed to make blockchain networks (especially Ethereum) faster and cheaper to use.
It was introduced in 2017 by Vitalik Buterin and Joseph Poon as a way to solve Ethereum’s congestion and high gas fees.
🔍 How
@Plasma Works
@Plasma creates “child chains” connected to the Ethereum main chain:
🧱 The main chain (Layer 1) provides security.
🔗 Child chains (Layer 2) process transactions off-chain.
📦 Transaction summaries are periodically submitted back to Ethereum.
This reduces load on the main network while keeping security anchored to it.
🚀 Why
@Plasma Was Important
Plasma helped introduce the idea of:
Scaling without sacrificing decentralization
Off-chain transaction processin
Layer-2 ecosystem developmen
It paved the way for modern scaling solutions like rollups.
⚠️ Limitations
Plasma had some usability challenges:
Complex withdrawal process
Long exit periods
Data availability issues
Because of this, newer Layer-2 technologies (like optimistic and zk-rollups) became more widely adopted.
