I’m watching Plasma shape itself into a Layer 1 built for stablecoin settlement — not “everything,” just moving stable value fast and clean. They’re going all-in on full EVM compatibility (Reth) so Ethereum apps/tools can feel at home, while aiming for near-instant finality through PlasmaBFT.

Here’s the part that hits emotionally : stablecoins should behave like money, not like a puzzle. Plasma’s docs highlight zero-fee (gasless) USD₮ transfers using a relayer API that only sponsors direct USD₮ transfers and adds controls to reduce abuse.

And yes — stablecoin-first gas : the chain supports custom gas tokens so fees can be paid in approved tokens (like USD₮), using protocol-maintained contracts designed to integrate with modern smart-account standards (EIP-4337 / EIP-7702).

Security story : Bitcoin-anchored neutrality plus a native Bitcoin bridge meant to increase censorship resistance and trust. If it becomes the “boring” settlement layer payments teams want, We’re seeing stablecoins finally get infrastructure that matches their real-world use.

Question : Why should sending digital dollars ever require a second token?
Payments must feel final.
