Ten years have passed, and the Blockchain is still stuck in place—promising to change the world, yet struggling to break out. But the turning point may really have arrived.

What the world lacks now is not another chain, but a coordination system that can "clarify" value. The Plasma project is quite interesting; it doesn't aim to create the 101st public blockchain, but rather directly targets something more fundamental: building an operating system for value in the digital world.

Sounds mysterious? In fact, the scenario is very practical. AI training requires rights confirmation and billing, cross-border settlement for enterprises needs financial compliance, regulatory agencies in various countries need a unified audit entry, stablecoins must have a reliable clearing layer, and micropayments need to establish a viable business model—these demands all point to one thing: the infrastructure for value flow.

What Plasma wants to do is exactly this. It’s not an application that you have to watch every day; it's more like the plumber hidden behind the scenes—when you swipe your card, AI computes the accounts, and businesses reconcile, it might be using it at the underlying level, but you won’t even notice.

If it really works, this may be what Blockchain is supposed to look like: not a speculative target, but the electricity, water, and coal of the digital economy.
