Layer2 projects have been busy lately, with each project working hard on performance upgrades. Speaking of this, XPL's scaling approach is quite interesting—it mainly focuses on high throughput and low transaction fees, directly targeting the two most painful points in the Ethereum ecosystem right now.

The Plasma framework, honestly, has been somewhat overshadowed by newer solutions in recent years. But looking at it now, it has gained new vitality in the current market environment. The reason is not complicated: the market's demand for scaling efficiency remains unchanged, and the needs in certain application scenarios have become more specific.

XPL's ability to present optimization solutions at this time indicates that the team has a fairly deep understanding of the current bottlenecks. This kind of continuous technological iteration is often a sign of projects that can survive in long-term competition. It is worth continuing to observe its actual performance in the coming quarters.

It sounds like XPL is really taking a hard stance on the bottleneck this time, addressing the two pain points of low cost and high throughput that everyone wants to solve. Is Plasma's old technology making a comeback? As always, if it's useful, it's useful—regardless of whether it's new or old. But it depends on whether XPL can keep up later on, or if it will just become another PPT project.

Old Plasma players, I didn't expect this wave of revival, but looking at XPL's approach, it really hits the mark. --- Everyone is competing over throughput and costs, but those who truly survive are the ones who understand market pain points. Let's keep observing. --- Scaling is easy to say and hard to do. The key is whether the team truly understands the ecosystem. --- There are many Layer2 projects, but only a few can sustain continuous iteration. XPL's move was quite good. --- Plasma has been neglected for so long, and now it has turned into a dark horse? That's interesting. --- Low cost and high throughput sound easy, but few projects can deliver stably. --- Instead of listening to marketing pitches, it's better to see how on-chain data looks in the coming months. --- This continuous optimization approach is definitely more reliable than those hyping concepts. --- XPL's direction is fine; it all depends on whether the team can keep up with the market pace.

XPL's combination really hits the mark, but can Plasma truly turn things around? I still feel it's missing that final push. I'm already tired of Plasma; if XPL can really reduce gas fees, that would be a win. There are many examples of projects turning around, but I'm worried it's just surface-level optimization. Once on-chain, it might be a different story. By the way, if this upgrade is to compete with giants like Arbitrum, what position does XPL have? The scalability approach sounds good, but the key is the actual throughput and user experience of the mainnet. Talking on paper is pointless. I really didn't expect Plasma to make a comeback, but the market is just so realistic—where there's demand, there's opportunity. There are many optimization plans, but only a few will truly survive. How far XPL can go in this game remains to be seen.

Low transaction fees are well explained, but can XPL really outperform Arbitrum and Optimism? Copying the old Plasma routine might turn things around, but I need to see the actual data to judge. If Plasma truly makes a comeback, those who chased the highs earlier will have suffered heavy losses. Technological iteration is one thing, but ecosystem users are the real key. Speaking of which, with so many Layer2 contenders, how many will actually survive in the end?
