1/12 Most blockchains treat stablecoins as an afterthought. @PlasmaFDN is changing that with a Bitcoin-secured L1 where USD₵0 transfers cost zero. Let’s break down how it works and why it might reshape stablecoin infrastructure. https://t.co/RThkmqa21d

2/12 Plasma is a new Layer 1 built specifically for stablecoins. It treats stablecoins as first-class citizens at the base layer with native support, optimizations, and fee-free USD₵0 transfers. It anchors to Bitcoin for security, supports EVM, and handles high throughput.

3/12 Why is that important? Stablecoins are crypto’s most widely used tool. In 2024, there were 225 billion dollars in supply and 32.8 trillion in volume - more than Visa. But they still compete for blockspace and pay high fees. Plasma aims to solve this. 4/12 As a Bitcoin sidechain, Plasma anchors to Bitcoin for finality. It uses PlasmaBFT, a fast protocol based on HotStuff that handles thousands of transactions per second. With built-in EVM support, gas fees are optional.

5/12 Plasma is optimized for scale: zero-fee USD₵0 transfers, delay-based settlement, custom gas tokens like USD₵0 and BTC, and optional transaction privacy. All designed for global stablecoin use. 6/12 USD₵0 is at the center of it. As the world’s leading stablecoin, it holds over 70 percent of the market and more than 140 billion in supply. Plasma offers it on its own chain, optimized for fast and cheap movement.

7/12 You can deploy Ethereum contracts on Plasma without modification. That means DeFi, remittances, payment applications, and cross-border trade - all powered by USD₵0 with no gas cost. 8/12 Plasma’s backers include Framework Ventures, Bitfinex, Founders Fund, Cumberland, Paolo Ardoino, Peter Thiel, Cobie, and Zaheer Ebtikar. Over 500 million dollars were also raised in the XPL public sale on @echo_xyz. https://t.co/nI59XsgKrv

9/12 That capital is already being deployed. Founders Fund supports expansion in Latin America and the Middle East with use cases like remittances, commodity payments, and mobile apps. Fast, borderless, and cost-efficient. 10/12 Plasma isn’t trying to be everything. It focuses on one job: anchoring to Bitcoin, eliminating gas, and prioritizing usability. Not a general-purpose chain, just stablecoins done right.

11/12 What’s ahead: mainnet beta, EUR₵0 launch, DeFi and bridge integrations, and community-led governance. The goal is to make stablecoins first-class citizens. 12/12 Stablecoins needed dedicated infrastructure. Plasma delivers it. If successful, USD₵0 scales globally and Bitcoin becomes the foundation for digital value.
