# Plasma Network Guide

### 🚀 About Plasma Network (Payment L1)

> **Important Distinction**: This guide applies to the **Plasma Layer 1 public chain (launched in 2025)**, *not* the legacy Ethereum scaling solution.

**Plasma Chain** is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for **global stablecoin payments** (fully EVM-compatible).

Its core innovation is Gas Abstraction:

* **0 Gas Fees**: Users enjoy free **USDT** transfers.
* **Pay with Stablecoins**: For contract deployments or complex interactions, you can pay gas directly in stablecoins (USDT/USDC)—no need to hold a specific native token.

Backed by the Tether/Bitfinex ecosystem, Plasma aims to realize the vision of "**Money 2.0**".

### Plasma Mainnet Beta (Live Sept 2025)

* **Native Gas**: **XPL**
* **Gas Mechanics**: Currently, only standard USDT transfers are gas-free (requiring no XPL), facilitated by the system-level Paymaster and official relay services.
* **Other Interactions**: Actions beyond standard transfers—such as contract interactions, Token Approvals, or batch operations—still require gas payments (typically XPL).

#### **Network Setup**

This page provides the RPC parameters required to switch your wallet to the Plasma network.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Note**: Once connected, the workflow is **identical to using BSC**. To avoid confusion, the screenshots below may still **show the BSC interface**, but the steps on Plasma are exactly the same. simply follow the process as shown.

### ⚙️ Step 1: Node & Environment Setup (RPC)

> 💡 **Tip**: All tools on this platform automatically support Plasma Chain. Simply Connect Wallet and switch networks to begin.

Before using the tools, ensure your environment is configured correctly:

* **Network Status**: Your Web3 wallet (MetaMask/OKX Wallet) must be connected to **Plasma Mainnet**.
* **Gas Token**: The base Gas for Plasma Chain is **XPL**.

**Note**: While USDT transfers may be gas-free, deploying contracts and executing complex interactions still require **XPL for Gas Fees**.

**Quick Params:**

* RPC URL: `https://rpc.plasma.to`
* Chain ID: `9745`
* Symbol: `XPL`
* Explorer: `https://plasmascan.to/`

**Setup Steps**: Refer to the [Wallet Configuration Guide](/bsc-en/general-guide/metamask-wallet-tutorial.md)

### ⛽️ Plasma Gas Mechanics & Optimization (XPL)

**Plasma’s Gas mechanism** is more flexible than standard EVM chains:

* **Standard Transactions**: Paid in **XPL**. Network fees are currently negligible (typically < 0.001 XPL).
* **Stablecoin Transfers**: Official **USDT (USDT0)** transfers are 0 Gas (Requires a wallet supporting the Paymaster protocol; primarily for P2P transfers).

#### How to Obtain Gas (XPL):

* **Official Bridge**: Bridge assets from Ethereum or BNB Chain via [bridge](https://www.plasma.to/docs/plasma-chain/tools/cross-chain).
* **Exchanges**: Deposit directly via CEXs that support XPL withdrawals (Binance, Bybit, OKX, etc.).
* **Cross-Chain Aggregators**: We recommend using Stargate Finance, Rhino.fi, or Symbiosis for cross-chain swaps.

#### Optimization Tips:

* Prioritize the [Official Bridge](https://www.plasma.to/docs/plasma-chain/tools/cross-chain) for maximum security.
* Leverage the Zero-Gas USDT feature for high-frequency, small transfers.
* As a native low-fee L1, Plasma Gas costs are already extremely low.

### ❓ Plasma Exclusive FAQ

<details>

<summary>Is this Plasma the same as the Ethereum scaling solution?</summary>

**No**. This is a brand new **Layer 1 public chain** focused on payments. Do not confuse it with the legacy Ethereum scaling solution.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Why does MetaMask show "Network Mismatch"?</summary>

Ensure your **RPC URL** is set to `https://rpc.plasma.to` and the **Chain ID** is `9745`. These are the correct mainnet parameters for 2025.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How does Plasma achieve Zero-Gas USDT?</summary>

**Protocol Subsidy Mechanism**: The protocol covers **Gas Fees** for stablecoin transfers (currently limited to standard P2P transfers via official wallets or supported dApps). Other smart contract interactions still require **XPL**. *Source:* [*Official docs*](https://www.plasma.to/docs/)*.*

</details>

<details>

<summary>How does this USDT differ from USDT on other chains?</summary>

**USDT0** is the **native USDT** issued by Tether on Plasma. It is based on the LayerZero OFT standard and supports cross-chain interoperability. It is pegged 1:1 with other chains but features Plasma's unique **Zero-Gas transfer** capability.

* **USDT0 Contract Address**: `0xb8ce59fc3717ada4c02eadf9682a9e934f625ebb`

</details>

<details>

<summary>What is the native Gas token and how do I get it?</summary>

Plasma uses **XPL** as its native Gas token. You can acquire it via:

1. Official Bridge: Bridge from ETH/Arbitrum/BSC via `bridge.plasma.to`.
2. Swap: Use third-party bridges like Rhino.fi.
3. CEX: Deposit directly from Binance, Bybit, or OKX (Select Plasma Network).
