Plasma

Mainnet since September 2025. An EVM L1 built for stablecoin (USDT) payments — basic USDT transfers are free. Bridges connect it to Ethereum.

Plasma is an EVM L1 whose mainnet beta opened on 25 September 2025. It is built for stablecoins, above all USDT payments: basic USDT transfers are free because the chain itself pays the fee.

Execution uses the Ethereum client Reth, consensus is PlasmaBFT, and it advertises anchoring its records to Bitcoin. Fees for more complex transactions are paid in XPL or USDT. Bridges connect it to Ethereum.

How it looks in the city

It is a satellite town on an island out at sea. Because its own validators secure it rather than Ethereum, the city draws it as linked to the mainland only by a bridge. Building height is the market cap of this district’s main token.
