Currently, the entire screen is filled with public chains competing in TPS and ecosystems, but do you actually use them to transfer funds? The experience is still quite fragmented.
There is a project that has chosen a different approach: not pursuing the "big and comprehensive" model, but focusing solely on stablecoin settlement. It may sound a bit "less ambitious," but upon closer inspection, they are targeting a real pain point.
In payment scenarios, there is indeed a "culture shock"—users want to transfer quickly but end up waiting half a day; to use it, they first need to buy native tokens to pay gas fees, with high entry barriers. This project's solution is quite pragmatic: PlasmaBFT achieves sub-second confirmation, making transfers no longer a mystical process; even more impressively, they have revamped the gas mechanism—directly supporting USDT and USDC to pay for gas, and even offering gas-free small transactions.
With this change, users no longer need to hold native tokens, significantly lowering the barrier to entry. Coupled with EVM compatibility and security guarantees from the Bitcoin network, the fundamentals are indeed solid.
Thinking it through thoroughly, for crypto to truly go mainstream, payments are an essential step, and stablecoins are the fuel. When real-world assets and institutional funds come in large scale, a specialized, high-efficiency settlement network will be needed. The positioning of this "native stablecoin chain" just fills a blue ocean that has been overlooked.
If stablecoins are truly the infrastructure of future finance, then projects like this are laying the most critical groundwork. It’s worth watching how they use an exceptional user experience to open up the payment market.
