Plasma Architecture

Plasma architecture is a method to make blockchain networks more scalable and efficient. It involves creating smaller, independent blockchains called "child chains" that run alongside a main blockchain, or "root chain." These child chains handle most transactions locally, reducing congestion on the main chain. Periodically, they finalize and提交 their data to the root chain for security and consistency. This setup allows for faster transactions and lower fees while maintaining the security and decentralization of the overall system. In essence, Plasma acts like multiple mini-blockchains working together under a main chain to improve performance.
