Plasma as a Scaling Architecture: From Concept to Legacy
When Plasma was introduced, it was not positioned as a universal solution for Ethereum scaling. It was an architecture with a specific purpose: to move computations and transactions off-chain, allowing users to return to L1 in case of operator compromise. On paper, the idea sounded simple, but in practical implementation, the community encountered a range of issues that had not been systematically articulated before.
**Where Simplicity Failed**
Real challenges began with a deep analysis of mass exit scenarios. The system had to handle a
