On Thursday, Sept. 25, Plasma, a layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for stablecoins, launched its mainnet with $2 billion in USD\u20ae0 liquidity live from day one.<\/p>\n<p>Marketed as the world\u2019s first \u201cstablecoin chain,\u201d Plasma received backing from both Tether\u2019s ecosystem and Peter Thiel\u2019s Founders Fund. As a result, Tether\u2019s omnichain stablecoins USD\u20ae0 and XAU\u20ae0, powered by LayerZero, are available on Plasma immediately at launch.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cFor the USDT0 community, Plasma isn\u2019t just another chain, it\u2019s the first network designed with stablecoins at the center. By bringing billions in liquidity on day one, we\u2019re giving users a faster, more reliable, and more accessible way to move value across the world. This launch is about creating a stablecoin environment that can finally scale to meet real-world demand,\u201d Lorenzo R., Co-founder of USD\u20ae0 told crypto.news. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plasma to take on stablecoin settlement<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike general-purpose networks, where stablecoin transfers compete with DeFi and smart contracts, Plasma focuses specifically on stablecoin settlement. The network leverages PlasmaBFT, a consensus mechanism with sub-second finality, deterministic confirmation times, and low fees. According to the network, these features remain robust even during peak times.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cUntil now, stablecoin infrastructure has been defined by fragmentation. Siloed liquidity, wrapped assets, and unspecialized network architecture have made it harder to build powerful new financial rails that billions can rely on,\u201d Plasma\u2019s statement wrote. \u201cUSD\u20ae0 and Plasma mark a clean break from this past. Together, we are providing a stablecoin environment that is more scalable, secure, and interoperable than anything that came before.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plasma launched its Layer-1 mainnet, purpose-built for stablecoins, with $2 billion in USD\u20ae0 liquidity already on-chain.
