We're excited to announce that Tenderly now fully supports Plasma, the purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain designed from the ground up for stablecoin infrastructure. Developers building on Plasma can now leverage Tenderly's full-stack infrastructure to access the only production-grade RPCs with built-in development environments, debug complex payment flows, simulate transactions before deployment, and monitor their stablecoin applications in real-time.
Redefining how money moves with Plasma
Stablecoins are emerging as the essential infrastructure for the next-generation global payment system. Plasma is revolutionizing the stablecoin ecosystem as a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain specifically engineered for digital dollar infrastructure. In a world where stablecoins are becoming the backbone of global payments, Plasma provides the specialized infrastructure needed for near-instant, fee-free transactions with institutional-grade security.
It’s helping redefine how money moves.
Unlike general-purpose blockchains that treat stablecoins as just another token type, Plasma is designed for stablecoins and optimizes every aspect of its architecture for stablecoin operations. This focused approach enables unprecedented performance for payment applications, making it the ideal foundation for the next generation of financial infrastructure.
Key features of Plasma network
- Purpose-built for stablecoins: Every layer optimized for digital dollar infrastructure, from consensus to execution, enabling sub-second finality and fee-free transfers
- Deep liquidity & native features: Built-in stablecoin infrastructure with integrated liquidity pools and native support for payment operations at the protocol level
- 1000+ TPS performance: High throughput designed to handle global payment volumes with institutional-grade security and compliance
- Full EVM compatibility: Seamless deployment of existing Ethereum applications with familiar development tools while benefiting from Plasma's stablecoin optimizations
- Native Bitcoin bridge: Direct BTC bridging capabilities expand cross-chain payment possibilities, connecting traditional crypto liquidity with modern stablecoin infrastructure
The network has already attracted a diverse ecosystem of stablecoin issuers and payment platforms, including partnerships with Yellow Card, Privy, Rain, Fireblocks, and Mansa, with backing from industry leaders like Bitfinex, Founders Fund, Framework, Flow Traders, and DRW. It also boasts over $1B in deposits, over 15 stablecoins, and supports over 200 payment methods across the globe.
What Tenderly brings to Plasma developers
With this integration, developers building stablecoin applications and payment infrastructure on Plasma gain access to Tenderly's comprehensive toolkit, ensuring their applications are thoroughly tested, optimized, and monitored from development through production.
Tenderly Virtual TestNets: Create isolated, customizable replicas of Plasma's mainnet or testnet environments. Test payment flows, simulate high-volume transaction scenarios, and validate stablecoin integrations without any risk. Perfect for testing cross-border payment logic, liquidity management systems, and complex multi-party settlement flows.
Tenderly Node RPC: Connect to Plasma with our high-performance, globally distributed RPC infrastructure. With 99.99% uptime SLA, sub-100ms median latency, and intelligent traffic routing, your payment applications will have the reliable infrastructure needed to process transactions at scale.
Explorer & Debugger: Navigate Plasma's transaction data with our intuitive explorer and debug even the most complex stablecoin operations. Trace payment flows across multiple contracts, analyze gas optimization opportunities (even with fee-free transactions), and understand exactly how your smart contracts interact with Plasma's stablecoin infrastructure.
Tenderly Simulations: Preview transaction outcomes before sending them onchain. Essential for payment platforms where accuracy is critical – simulate multi-step payment flows, test edge cases in settlement logic, and ensure your users' transactions will execute exactly as intended.
Alerting & Monitoring: Set up real-time monitoring for your stablecoin applications. Track payment volumes, monitor for unusual activity, get alerts on failed transactions, and automate responses to critical events. Perfect for maintaining the reliability that payment infrastructure demands.
Building the future of payments on Plasma
With Plasma's specialized stablecoin infrastructure and Tenderly's comprehensive development tools, teams can now build numerous finance-focused use cases and redefine the global financial landscape:
- Global remittance networks: Leverage Plasma's fee-free architecture to enable instant cross-border transfers. Build platforms that connect local fiat on/off ramps with Plasma's stablecoin rails, enabling migrant workers to send money home instantly. With Tenderly's monitoring, track payment flows across corridors and ensure regulatory compliance.
- Merchant payment infrastructure: Deploy point-of-sale systems that settle in real-time. Plasma's sub-second finality means merchants receive funds instantly, while the native stablecoin optimization ensures price stability. Use Tenderly's simulation tools to test complex programs, mechanisms, and multi-currency settlement logic before going live.
- Institutional settlement systems: Create B2B payment rails that handle millions in daily volume with programmatic compliance and automated reconciliation. Plasma's deep liquidity pools ensure efficient large-value transfers, while the native Bitcoin bridge opens doors for crypto-to-stablecoin settlement flows. Monitor every transaction with Tenderly's enterprise-grade alerting to maintain institutional SLAs.
- Micropayment platforms: With zero transaction fees, sub-dollar payments are economically viable. Build streaming payment applications for content creators, pay-per-use APIs, or IoT device networks where traditional payment rails fail. Debug complex payment splitting logic with Tenderly's transaction traces to ensure creators and service providers are compensated accurately.
- Yield-Generating Stablecoin Products: Develop DeFi protocols that maximize stablecoin yields through Plasma's integrated infrastructure. Create automated market makers, lending pools, or structured products that benefit from the network's stablecoin-first design. Test complex DeFi strategies safely on Tenderly's Virtual TestNets before deploying millions in TVL.
- Programmable Escrow Services: Build trustless escrow systems for freelance platforms, real estate transactions, or supply chain payments that release funds based on smart contract conditions. Plasma's EVM compatibility means you can port existing escrow logic while benefiting from instant, free settlement. Simulate edge cases and dispute scenarios to ensure bulletproof contract logic.
Accelerate your stablecoin development
The combination of Plasma's purpose-built blockchain and Tenderly's full-stack infrastructure creates the ideal environment for building the next generation of stablecoin applications. Whether you're developing payment rails for millions of users or building institutional-grade financial infrastructure, you now have the tools to move fast without compromising on security or reliability.
As stablecoins continue their trajectory toward becoming the primary medium of exchange in the digital economy, Plasma and Tenderly are providing the foundational infrastructure to make this vision a reality.
