In balancing security and performance, Plasma adopts a hybrid consensus mechanism. It utilizes sub-second PlasmaBFT consensus to achieve instant payment confirmation while anchoring its final state on the Bitcoin network, inheriting Bitcoin\'s immutable security features. As a strategic extension of the Tether ecosystem, Plasma provides a fully controllable, compliant, and high-performance settlement channel. With massive liquidity of stablecoins migrating here in the future, XPL will become a key infrastructure for global digital financial settlements.
