🔍 What Exactly Is Plasma?
Plasma is a Layer-2 scaling architecture that creates multiple child chains branching off from Ethereum.
These child chains process transactions independently and periodically submit Merkle-root commitments back to Ethereum for verification.
This architecture dramatically reduces mainnet congestion while keeping Ethereum as the ultimate security layer.
Think of it like:
Ethereum → The High Court
Plasma Child Chain → Local Fast Courts handling 99% of all workload
Ethereum only steps in when a dispute arises.
