They are often considered \u201cchild chains\u201d off of the primary Ethereum blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>However, in recent years, rapid technological advancements have thrown Plasma to the wayside.<\/p>\n<h2>Plasma\u2019s potential<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"replacer\"><\/span><br \/>Other scaling solutions and rollups like Optimism, Arbitrum, and Mina have since largely overshadowed Plasma, causing the OMG token to have lost over 97% of its value. However, the momentary spike in OMG\u2019s value following Buterin\u2019s publication could be a promising signal for the technology\u2019s future staying power.<\/p>\n<p>In part, Buterin argues that Plasma\u2019s unique underlying technology makes it quintessential to lowering costs and providing greater data availability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlasma lets us completely sidestep the data availability question, greatly reducing transaction fees,\u201d claimed Buterin.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Buterin claims validity proofs, also known as (zk-SNARKS), can serve to further advance the technology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlasma can be a significant security <i>upgrade<\/i> for chains that would otherwise be validiums,\u201d wrote Buterin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRollups remain the gold standard, and have security properties that cannot be matched,\u201d the blockchain platform founder continued. \u201cThis is particularly true from the developer experience perspective: nothing can match the simplicity of an application developer <i>not even having to think<\/i> about ownership graphs and incentive flows within their application.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With numerous ZK-EVMS in the works, the Ethereum founder believes now is an opportune time to rediscover Plasma technology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact that ZK-EVMs are finally coming to fruition this year makes it an excellent opportunity to re-explore this design space, and come up with even more effective constructions to simplify the developer experience and protect users\u2019 funds,\u201d Buterin stated.<\/p>\n<h2>Allegations of fraud<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"replacer\"><\/span><br \/>Buterin\u2019s blog post touting the benefits of Plasma technology comes following a week of turbulent claims made against him by his former advisor, Steven Nerayoff.<\/p>\n<p>Nerayoff released recordings from 2015 he had with Buterin, suggesting the Ethereum founder stole his ideas. Moreover, he is expected to file a lawsuit alleging fraud against Buterin.<\/p>\n<p>Buterin has not publicly responded to the claims.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter home-newsletter single\">\n<div class=\"left-side\">\n<p>\n        <em><br \/>\n            Enter your email for our Free Daily Newsletter        <\/em>\n    <\/p>\n<p> A quick 3min read about today&#8217;s crypto news!<\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"response-msg\" id=\"newsletter-response\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/news\/vitalik-buterin-touts-plasma-technology-omg-token-briefly-skyrockets-16.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: youtube\/ VICE News Ethereum founder, Vitalik Buterin, touted emerging Plasma technology in a new blog post this week, prompting the Plasma-supported&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13060,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-13059","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-crypto"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Vitalik Buterin Touts Plasma Technology;
