6 years ago As Q3 draws to a close, let’s take a quick look at progress on Tesuji Plasma. Tesuji is the first iteration of Plasma, the foundation on which further iterations will be built. The basic goals for Tesuji as laid out in the roadmap, were as follows:
- Proof of Authority run on OmiseGO servers
- Exit to Ethereum for final safety
- CLI (command line interface) to monitor the child chain
- Multiple currencies (initially this means ETH and ERC-20)
- Atomic swap support
The first four (PoA, exits, CLI, multiple currencies) are done and on internal testnet. Atomic swaps are a feature, not infrastructure, so although they are among the list of goals they are not a necessity for launch. When the time comes, we’ll go ahead to regardless of whether atomic swaps are ready to go.
In the process of development, two phases have emerged for Tesuji: Minimum Viable Plasma (MVP) which satisfies the conditions above but sacrifices user experience for security to a certain extent; and More Viable Plasma (MoreVP) which improves UX while maintaining security, most significantly by removing pesky confirmation signatures from the transaction process.
As mentioned in the post announcing the publication of the OMG Network Repo, an early alpha version of Tesuji has been on internal testnet since August. The version now on testnet isn’t perfect, but it runs.

When the Tesuji milestone is reached, we will deliver OmiseGO's first implementation of Plasma. Whilst not decentralized, Tesuji Plasma does not compromise on security or performance.
