Building the Future of Global Payments | Paul & Zaheer

0xResearch

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Specialization Wins: General-purpose blockchains struggle to optimally serve the massive, specific needs of stablecoin transfers; dedicated infrastructure like Plasma is required to unlock the next phase of growth.
