Abstract

无论是机构背书、筹资速度,还是市场热度,Plasma 确实已走在了稳定币基础设施创新的前列。

撰文:ChandlerZ,Foresight News

6 月 9 日,稳定币项目 Plasma 通过新上线的 ICO 平台 Sonar 完成了首轮公开募资,筹资上限为 5 亿美元,对应 XPL 代币的总估值为 50 亿美元。Sonar 平台由 Cobie 创立,Plasma 是其首发项目。

该项目在公开质押后数分钟内即完成 5 亿美元额度的认购。官方称,本次公开质押参与钱包数超 1100 个,中位数质押金额约为 3.5 万美元。而据@ai_9684xtpa 监测,某巨鲸地址 0x790 开头地址质押了 5,000 万枚 USDC,占总质押份额的 20%。

且某地址为了往 Plasma 质押 1017 万枚 USDC 支付了 43.04 ETH 的 Gas 费用,价值约合 11 万美元,成为首个质押地址。而榜首地址存入 5000 万 USDC 仅支付 7.16 美元的 Gas 费用。值得注意的是,本次质押社区讨论热烈,也有部分用户质疑高净值地址对份额分配的影响。

除此之外,Plasma 于 2024 年底完成融资,总额为 2400 万美元。其中种子轮与 A 轮融资分别完成 400 万和 2000 万美元,由 Framework Ventures 领投,其他参与者包括 Bitfinex、Founders Fund(Peter Thiel 旗下)、Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino、知名加密 KOL Cobie、Bybit、Flow Traders、IMC、野村控股等。Founders Fund 近期还以 5 亿美元估值入股并签订了代币认购协议。

Plasma 是何方神圣? 为何能在当前行情下吸引如此规模的资金参与?稳定币赛道会否再迎新的鲶鱼?

面向稳定币支付和转账的区块链

Plasma 是一个专注于稳定币支付和转账效率的区块链网络。项目目标是降低稳定币在链上传输的成本,提高处理能力,提升用户体验。据官方称,其并非构建于以太坊或其他通用型公链之上,而是选择在比特币网络基础上构建,通过兼容以太坊 EVM 实现更强的开发扩展性。

Plasma 面向的是稳定币的日常使用场景,如链上支付、结算、跨境汇款和应用内微支付等,其主要定位是成为稳定币的底层清算网络,而非泛用型智能合约平台。

技术架构与运行机制

Plasma 的技术架构围绕三个核心目标展开:速度、安全性和可用性。

共识机制:PlasmaBFT

项目采用自研的 BFT 类共识机制 PlasmaBFT。根据团队提供的数据,网络在单链结构下可支持每秒处理超过 2000 笔交易。在执行层面,Plasma 结合了以太坊账户模型和比特币 UTXO 模型,支持比特币支付 gas,从而实现更灵活的结算体验。

状态锚定比特币主网

Plasma 将链上状态的根哈希周期性地提交到比特币主链,通过锚定机制实现审计能力和安全性扩展。这一设计绕过了对比特币本身进行升级的需要,兼顾比特币的稳定性与扩展层的灵活性。

EVM 兼容性

Plasma 支持以太坊虚拟机,允许开发者使用 Solidity 语言部署智能合约,兼容包括 MetaMask、Hardhat 在内的以太坊开发工具链。这使得现有以太坊生态中的项目可以快速迁移至 Plasma。

双通道交易机制

网络交易设计包括免费通道与优先通道。免费通道适用于低时效需求的用户,交易无需支付 gas;优先通道则允许用户通过支付 XPL 代币提高确认速度,系统通过队列调度和速率限制机制保证网络稳定。

代币发行与市场反应

Plasma 的原生代币 XPL 于 2025 年 6 月 9 日正式启动公募。此次代币销售通过由 Cobie 创立的新平台 Sonar 进行,Plasma 是其首个上线项目。

XPL 总供应量为 100 亿枚,本轮公募释放 10%,即 10 亿枚,每枚售价 0.05 美元,对应融资目标为 5000 万美元,项目整体估值 5 亿美元。用户需通过将 USDT、USDC 或 USDS 充值至以太坊上的 Plasma Vault,获得时间加权的申购额度。此轮质押总额 5 亿美元,根据 Arkham 等链上数据平台追踪,USDC 质押额约 3.45 亿美元,USDT 为 1.46 亿美元,其余为 USDS 和 DAI。

美国用户参与代币认购后将面临 12 个月锁仓期,其他大多数地区参与者的锁仓期为 40 天。英国用户和部分受限司法辖区被排除在参与名单之外。

融资背景与生态合作

Plasma 于 2024 年底至 2025 年初完成种子轮与 A 轮融资,总计筹集 2400 万美元。2025 年 5 月,Founders Fund 再次通过股权与代币认购协议参与融资,按照同样的 5 亿美元估值进行投资。此前,Bitfinex 也曾单独向该项目投资 350 万美元,用于推进 USDT 在比特币上的应用。Plasma 项目负责人 Paul Faecks 表示,融资将主要用于扩大团队规模、建设区域基础设施、推动合规路径及拓展生态合作。

Plasma 的应用定位明确,旨在打造面向稳定币支付的区块链基础设施。其重点场景包括零手续费的链上 USDT 转账、支付网络对接和商户清结算系统、金融机构对接的结算 API 以及稳定币 DeFi 协议部署与跨链互通。项目方透露,已与 Ethena、Aave、Morpho、Curve、Maker 等协议沟通集成计划。同时,Bitfinex 与 Bybit 也有望在主网发布后上线 Plasma 相关功能。

团队还表示,正在与部分地区的机构伙伴展开本地合作,建设「准合规化」节点运营模式,未来将逐步开放验证人机制。目前链上仍为受限测试网,计划于夏季末开放公开测试网络。

稳定币网络的新候选人?

Plasma 的推出时间点颇为微妙。一方面,稳定币正在逐步成为链上结算的主力资产;另一方面,主流公链的手续费和确认时间依旧难以匹配高频支付场景。在这样的背景下,Plasma 提出的「专链方案」与资本结构吸引了大量关注。

无论是机构背书、筹资速度,还是市场热度,Plasma 确实已走在了稳定币基础设施创新的前列。但其是否能在实际使用中建立网络效应,能否从「估值过热」的标签中跳脱出来,还要看其主网上线后的稳定性与开发者支持度。

未来的稳定币网络,不一定属于某条链,但 Plasma 的确已成为值得观察的项目之一。

BIT Research: The 2028 Halving Is Not the End, the Real Shake-Up of the Bitcoin Mining Industry Is Just Beginning

The Bitcoin mining industry is undergoing its most complex structural adjustment since inception. Despite Bitcoin's price holding near $61,000 and the network hash rate approaching a record 1 ZH/s, miner profitability is deteriorating. The industry is operating close to its breakeven point, with the 2028 halving expected to accelerate consolidation. The challenges extend beyond the halving's subsidy reduction; the industry's revenue model has yet to successfully transition towards a fee-driven structure. Increasingly, mining companies are evolving from simple Bitcoin producers into infrastructure and energy operators, including providers of AI/HPC computing power. Competition is shifting from pure hash rate expansion to business model upgrades. Economic pressure is evident. The theoretical daily mining revenue at current prices is around $78 million, yet the actual figure is only about $33 million—a 136% gap. Transaction fees remain low at roughly $220k daily, far below historical implied levels. With a current estimated industry-wide breakeven price near $65,000, mining alone is struggling to generate ideal profits. The 2028 halving is projected to push the fundamental production cost floor to approximately $93,289. This will likely accelerate a shift towards consolidation among larger, well-capitalized miners with diversified revenue streams. Competitive advantage will belong to institutionalized players with access to low-cost energy, AI/HPC hosting operations, and stronger balance sheets. In essence, Bitcoin mining is transitioning from a "mining business" to an "infrastructure business." Future profitability and resilience will depend less on block rewards and more on diversified income sources like energy management and computational infrastructure services. For investors, the key question is not the halving itself, but which miners can successfully navigate this business model transformation.
