The average daily settlement volume of stablecoins on the chain has expanded to a point where it can no longer be ignored.

The importance of this asset class has long surpassed that of most public blockchains, but the problem is—it's still struggling to survive on networks that haven't been optimized for it at all. This mismatch is essentially the contradiction that Plasma aims to resolve.

From the very first moment of its inception, Plasma has made its stance clear: stablecoins are not supporting actors, but the absolute protagonists.

Look at every technical choice it makes, all revolving around this premise: using PlasmaBFT to cut transaction confirmation times to sub-second levels, so that stablecoin transfer experiences no longer resemble traditional blockchains—eliminating that half-day confirmation wait. It allows direct payment of Gas fees with stablecoins, even enabling zero-cost USDT transfers. As for security, it chooses to anchor to hard assets like Bitcoin, rather than relying on a pretty phrase like "we are highly decentralized" to fool users.

Plasma isn't interested in grand narratives about ecological prosperity or countless applications. Frankly, it’s focused on a pragmatic goal—building a dedicated infrastructure pipeline for stablecoin settlement.

As stablecoins continue to penetrate real-world scenarios such as cross-border payments, employee salaries, and fund clearing, the market will eventually realize: this "stablecoin-first" Layer1 design is not excess capacity, but rather the answer that this market has been waiting for all along.
