OMG: Why We Started
summary
Argues for a fully on‑chain DEX built on plasma layer‑2s to enable frictionless fiat–crypto flow, not just off‑chain order matching; shows concrete plasma variants used — plasma cash, plasma debit, plasma XT — and explains how NFT‑based UTXO tracking plus defragmentation and shuffling lets tiny payments work while limiting theft to one token at a time. Calls out miner front‑running risk, tradeoffs between discrete vs continuous matching, and the path to proofs of correctness (ZK) for instant finality; prototypes exist but security and usability remain active research.
