Plasma keeps choosing predictability over power.
Most systems highlight what you can do — more options, more flexibility, more ways to optimize. Payments don’t thrive on optionality. They thrive on sameness.
What feels intentional about Plasma is how narrow the behavioral surface is. You don’t need to master features. You don’t need to adjust strategy. The system behaves the same way regardless of how much attention you give it.
That restraint builds something more valuable than capability: expectation stability.
Plasma doesn’t try to impress with possibilities.
It tries to remove surprises.
And in payments, fewer surprises often end up being the real form of power.
