Ethereum congestion and high gas fees have been longstanding issues, but the evolution of Layer2 solutions has exceeded expectations. Plasma, as an early scaling approach, adopts a tree-structured sidechain architecture, capable of supporting thousands of TPS throughput — a qualitative leap compared to the main chain's mere tens of TPS processing capacity.

The most direct aspect is cost. Cross-border payment costs can be reduced by up to 98%, what does this mean? Transfers that once required high intermediary fees can now be almost free. From the perspective of Gas fees alone, it is only 1/50 of the main chain, which is a tangible optimization for frequent DeFi users.

But high throughput does not mean no security guarantees. Plasma strengthens security defenses through fraud proof mechanisms, ensuring the authenticity of on-chain data. This system has already been validated in practice.

More importantly, the integrity of application scenarios. Payments, DeFi, NFTs can all be supported, and integration can be achieved without reconstructing the existing ecosystem — reducing migration costs. The combination of low fees, high speed, and security indeed makes on-chain asset flow more practical.
