The Economics of Being a Plasma Operator
Running a Plasma operation is a bit like walking a tightrope. On one side, you’ve got the money coming in from transaction fees. On the other there’s a whole pile of costs, servers to keep running, data to share around, and those regular commitments you have to submit to Ethereum. Sometimes, you even have to lock up collateral just to prove you’re not going to vanish overnight. Your earnings really hinge on how many people use your service and how much they trust you. Mess up, and you risk a mass exodus, users pulling out, revenue drying up, and your reputation in tatters. So, it’s all about running things efficiently and building rock-solid credibility. That’s the business.
