Vitalik: Plasma is an underrated field of design
In a recent article published today, Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, stated that Plasma is an underestimated design field and will be important by 2023. He emphasized that Rollups are still the gold standard with unbeatable security properties. From a developer experience perspective, there is nothing that can match the simplicity of not having to consider ownership graphs and incentive flows.
However, Plasma allows us to completely avoid the problem of data availability, thereby greatly reducing transaction costs. For chains that should be validation chains, Plasma can be an important security upgrade. This year, ZK-EVM has finally matured, providing an excellent opportunity to re-explore this design field and propose more effective structures to simplify developer experience and protect user funds.
