Origin Plasma Chain for scalability and lower gas costs #184

Open gaboesquivel opened 6 years ago

gaboesquivel commented 6 years ago

It seems that Ethereum Plasma Cash is ready for implementation, it's just a set of smart contracts that enforce it. It would be interesting to start exploring it as a solution for scalability and lower gas costs in parallel with the development of the protocol itself as there might be some important considerations to take if we wanted to go plasma later on.

Plasma Cash is Ethereum Plasma simplified and way more scalable; And it mitigates the mass withdrawal challenges existing on the initial Plasma spec. You can find the original Plasma paper at plasma.io

In theory all of the 3 mayor scalability solutions that are being develop are non exclusive and will coexist nicely.

Wow this is amazing. Will take me a while to digest all of this, but I see no reason not to start exploring Plasma.

Agree. We have a couple convos being scheduled with their team btw.

Great! This is a good resource too. The plasma implementers calls. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG2MeKuKDJRK4gFNk-dQuZQ
