When people say “payments,” I think less about shopping and more about payroll, vendor invoices, and that anxious question from finance: “Is it settled yet?” Deterministic finality matters there, and PlasmaBFT is built to give Plasma a clear, seconds-level end state instead of the usual waiting game. What’s interesting is the bundle around it: apps can pay fees in approved assets, not just XPL, and Plasma is researching confidential stablecoin transfers that can hide amounts and who paid who while still allowing disclosures. The planned Bitcoin bridge is still under development, with pBTC and a network of independent verifiers meant to reduce reliance on a single custodian. I’m cautiously optimistic, because this is exactly the kind of plumbing stablecoins need as they move into real operations.
