On Plasma, “instant” isn’t the feature.
“Already happened” is.
PlasmaBFT doesn’t give you time to refresh, reconsider, or hover over undo. Settlement closes before doubt forms.
Traditional rails trained us to equate delay with security. Three business days feels legitimate. Three seconds feels reckless.
But the recklessness isn’t in the system. It’s in our readiness to accept that money can actually just move.
Plasma forces trust in finality before we’ve finished trusting the transaction.
The technology works. The muscle memory doesn’t.
Adoption friction doesn’t live in code anymore.
It lives in human timing.
And organizations restructure slower than protocols finalize.
