Payments should feel like WeChat red packets. @Plasma is trying to ship that: near-zero fee USDT, subsecond confirms, over 2000 TPS, EVM-compatible, and low-fee cross-chain settlement. Old tech, new context. Plasma’s off-chain compute + on-chain verification makes micro transfers basically free. $XPL handles governance, gas offsets, and incentives infra, not a trading toy
Reality check: data availability and exits were the historical weak points. Modular DA is a path to fix, but liquidity and UX need to actually show up. Positioning here is about usage, not headlines
If gas becomes invisible and USDT moves instantly wallet-to-wallet, #plasma could force every chain to rethink fees. Watch ecosystem velocity, stablecoin volume, and cross-chain flow. Early or late. Pick one
