What is Plasma?

Plasma is a high-throughput, EVM-compatible Layer 1 network designed for stablecoins and instant payments. Its PlasmaBFT consensus is designed to handle thousands of transactions per second, while committing state to Bitcoin for security.

One standout feature of Plasma is fee-free USDT transfers. On Plasma, sending USDT doesn’t require any gas, making it simple to move funds instantly thanks to a built-in paymaster.

Because Plasma is fully EVM-compatible, any Ethereum-based smart contract or token can run on Plasma without modifications. That makes it perfect for stablecoin trading, deep liquidity, and DeFi, all optimized for speed and low fees.

Trading on Plasma with Matcha

With Plasma live, Matcha brings deep aggregated liquidity to the network. Just connect your wallet, select Plasma, and pick the tokens you want to trade.

Behind the scenes, Matcha samples quotes across Plasma DEXs and private liquidity sources to find the best price. Our smart order routing can split your trade across multiple pools to reduce price impact for tighter spreads and better trade execution.

As a trader, you'll find that trading on Plasma feels just as smooth as the Matcha experience you know and love. You’ll see price quotes in real time and be able to use gasless trading and approvals thanks to Matcha Auto.

Gasless swaps and approvals

Matcha Auto is a feature that lets you swap tokens without holding any native gas token. Here’s how it works:

1. Sign your order in your wallet.
2. Matcha sends it to the 0x Gasless API, which acts as a relayer.
3. The relayer pays the gas upfront using its own XPL and executes your trade through private market makers.
4. The gas fee is deducted directly from the tokens you’re buying, so you never need to hold XPL yourself.

This system also supports gasless approvals, so you can approve a new token and swap without needing to top up gas.

Why gasless swaps matter

Gasless trading isn’t just convenient, it improves the trading experience in several ways:

All this means you get a smoother, faster, and more effective trading experience when exploring Plasma.
