After spending a long time in the encryption circle, you will discover a pattern: almost every new chain that goes live seems to want to dominate the world — games, social, Decentralized Finance protocols are all piled up. But Plasma is a bit different; its approach is somewhat "retro," which is quite interesting.

Plasma bets everything on one thing: to take payments to the extreme. It’s not a side project, nor a value-added feature, but rather treating payment settlement as the sole reason for the existence of the entire chain. This idea seems simple, but is truly revolutionary — using stablecoins as real "money" and building the entire settlement system around low cost, high speed, and high reliability.
