Plasma Blockchain

Plasma is an EVM-compatible L1 blockchain network that was purpose-built for the $220B stablecoin market. It aims to replace the centralized, high-cost L1 networks, such as the Tron chain, by offering increased network scalability, deeper liquidity, and security. 

It is built as a Bitcoin side chain, aiming for high transaction throughput capacity and security, processing transactions via the Bitcoin mainnet. At the same time, Plasma’s full EVM compatibility ensures seamless access for any Ethereum developer to the network, making it easier to build new dApps or integrate the network into existing applications. 

The key feature of the blockchain Plasma is set to be zero fees for $USDT transactions, eliminating the need for maintaining additional funds in the wallet to cover transactions. This way, Plasma network aims to achieve an improved on-chain user experience and facilitate mass adoption of the stablecoins, while establishing itself as a leader in the niche. 

🪙 Plasma token: According to the recent $XPL sale announcement, Plasma’s native $XPL token will be used for powering its consensus mechanism, similarly to all other L1 tokens, and security within its Bitcoin bridge. What’s more, our team assumes that it may also be used for governance, grants, and user incentivization purposes as well.

On June 9th, 2025, the Plasma crypto project is set to launch a public token sale on the Sonar - the new launchpad from the Echo team.
