The receipt printed at 14:07:12.
The POS updated at 14:07:18.
Six seconds doesn’t sound like much — until a customer is waiting, a line is forming, and the screen still says “processing.” On Plasma, the USDT payment was already final in under a second. Gasless. No extra token. No soft middle step.
The confusion isn’t about speed. It’s about timing. The ledger moves faster than the habits built around older payment rails. Staff are trained to wait for screens, not timestamps.
So the pressure point isn’t “did it settle?”
It’s “can the workflow keep up with the fact that it already did?”
