Plasma is a Layer 1 blockchain designed around stablecoins, especially USDT. It is EVM-compatible, so wallets, tooling and smart contracts built for Ethereum largely work on it. It uses its own BFT-style consensus designed for fast finality, which suits payments and trading where users want transfers to settle quickly.
The native token is XPL, which is used for network fees and staking. Plasma has also positioned itself around cheap or sponsored stablecoin transfers, so a simple dollar payment may not need XPL, while other activity pays gas in the usual way. Fee rules can change, so check the current network documentation before relying on them.
The DeFi side is built mostly on lending and yield. Aave V3, Fluid Lending and Euler V2 handle borrowing and lending, and Fluid DEX covers swaps with LP positions that can double as collateral. Vault and curator platforms such as Veda, Lagoon, Hyperithm and K3 Capital run yield strategies, and stablecoin projects like Avant avUSD, Reservoir Protocol and Yuzu Money add more yield options. At the time of writing, our data shows about $486.3M in DeFi TVL across the 62 dApps listed here.

Plasma FAQs
What is Plasma?
Plasma is a Layer 1 blockchain built mainly for stablecoin payments and DeFi. It is EVM-compatible, so Ethereum-style wallets and smart contracts work on it. Its native token is XPL.
What is the XPL token used for?
XPL is the native token of Plasma. It is used to pay network fees and to secure the chain through staking. Plasma has also promoted sponsored, fee-free transfers for some stablecoin payments, so everyday USDT senders may not need to hold it.
Is Plasma EVM-compatible?
Yes. Plasma is EVM-compatible, so apps written for Ethereum can generally be deployed with little change. Users can connect with common EVM wallets by adding the network. Always confirm the network details from official sources.
Which dApps are most prominent on Plasma?
Lending and vault-style yield apps make up much of it. Aave V3, Fluid Lending and Euler V2 are the main lending protocols, while Veda, Lagoon and Upshift are examples of vault platforms. Fluid DEX and Arrakis Modular cover trading and liquidity management.
