“In 2023, Plasma is an underrated design space. Rollups remain the gold standard, and have security properties that cannot be matched.”
He added that Plasma could offer a massive security upgrade for chains that would be validiums otherwise. With the ZK-EVMs coming to a head at the end of this year, there is development capacity to re-explore Plasma’s design and consider how it can be a more effective solution to protect user funds.
