Regarding the zero Gas feature of Plasma, many people still stay at the understanding of "another public chain," which is actually far from the truth.

The correct perspective should be: it focuses on reengineering the payment layer, rather than copying the previous DeFi craze. The core idea is simple—making USDT transfers as cheap and fast as sending a text message. It sounds simple, but the implementation is completely different.

The difference is that this is not a low fee subsidized by exchanges, nor temporary incentives. It is a feature directly designed at the protocol layer: stablecoin transactions inherently do not require consuming XPL as fuel. This is the underlying operational logic, not a top-layer strategy.

When offline merchants worldwide start using Plasma to settle USDT payments, you'll find that the disappearance of Gas fees will become a given—just like instant messaging in the internet era, becoming a standard feature. By then, people might not even specifically mention "zero Gas"—it will be how the infrastructure is supposed to look. This is the true underlying mindset of finance.
