Can Plasma support proverless user exits via stateless fraud-proof checkpoints while preserving trustless dispute resolution?
This morning I stood in a bank queue just to close a tiny dormant account. The clerk flipped through printed statements, stamped three forms, and told me, “System needs supervisor approval.”
I could see my balance on the app. Zero drama. Still, I had to wait for someone else to confirm what I already knew.
It felt… outdated. Like I was asking permission to leave a room that was clearly empty.
That’s when I started thinking about what I call the exit hallway problem. You can walk in freely, but leaving requires a guard to verify you didn’t steal the furniture. Even if you’re carrying nothing.
If checkpoints were designed to be stateless verifying only what’s provable in the moment you wouldn’t need a guard. Just a door that checks your pockets automatically.
That’s why I’ve been thinking about XPL. Can Plasma enable proverless exits using fraud proof checkpoints, where disputes remain trustless but users don’t need to “ask” to withdraw their own state?
If exits don’t depend on heavyweight proofs, what really secures the hallway math, incentives, or social coordination?
