Title: Ethereum: Plasma group
Post by: rdbase on January 14, 2020, 05:36:37 PM
Having not been up to date on the progress of ethereum since they have not implemented proof of stake. I had given up on wanting to know anything about the new upgrades to the network being done in the way of forks. The last one I heard of was ice age which was done right before the new year. But what did it really do? To a regular user of the ethereum blockchain, nothing really noticeable. Maybe to the ones creating smart contracts or using dapps.
So this article released at the beginning of the year caught my interest.

Plasma group and their involvement in infrastructure of the ethereum network has got me wanting to be interested in ethereum's development again. ;)

Plasma was toted as the lightning network of ethereum at one time.
But according to this newly released article the other day, ethereum dev group is going to stop production of any further development of it.

Which of the Ethereum Plasma group, is it the one that is already folding up, Plasma was touted as the next big development thing on Ethereum but 2 years has gone nothing, even from what I read the plasma team has abandon the project and are working on something else, they are just looking for a way to salvage their reputations now
