Portals Launches on Plasma

Portals now supports Plasma, the Bitcoin-anchored, EVM-compatible L1 built specifically for stablecoins. Explorer coverage is live. The full API stack is available to integrators.

Here's what that means, and why we picked Plasma.

What Is Plasma?

Plasma is a Layer 1 built around a single thesis: stablecoins are the primary unit of value in modern DeFi, and the infrastructure should reflect that.

Zero-fee USDT transfers, 3-second finality, full EVM compatibility, and Bitcoin-anchored security. Backed by Tether, Founders Fund, and Framework Ventures. Launched September 2025 with $2B+ in day-one liquidity and 100+ DeFi partners including Aave, Ethena, Fluid, and Euler.

What This Launch Means for Portals Explorer

Plasma assets are now fully indexed in Portals Explorer.

Explorer users can browse yield opportunities across Plasma protocols, monitor real-time APYs and TVL, track asset prices and characteristics, and view portfolio positions across connected wallets; the same functionality available on every supported network. Plasma joins a growing lineup of chains where Explorer provides a unified interface for discovering and evaluating DeFi positions.

For traders and yield farmers tracking stablecoin-denominated opportunities, Plasma's DeFi ecosystem carries a different risk and return profile than comparable positions on general-purpose chains. Given the network's stablecoin-first architecture and the depth of liquidity anchored to USDT, Explorer surfaces that data in a consistent format alongside everything else.

What This Launch Means for API Integrators

The full Portals API stack is available on Plasma.

Asset Discovery & Data
Query any asset on Plasma (including LP tokens, vault positions, and yield-bearing instruments) for real-time and historical data. APYs, TVL, prices, underlying token composition, and contract addresses are all accessible through the standard Portals data endpoints. This covers the breadth of indexed protocols on Plasma and updates in real time as new protocols are added.

Swap & Zap Execution
Intent-driven, smart-route swap and zap execution is live on Plasma. Any-asset-to-any-asset swaps, single-transaction entry and exit from yield positions, and Portals' native DEX aggregation are all available. For developers building products on Plasma, such as wallets, aggregators, automated yield managers, payment applications, this is the execution layer.

Portfolio & Balance Queries
Wallet balance queries, position tracking, and portfolio-level analytics work across Plasma through the standard Portals endpoints. Integrators building multi-chain portfolio tools get Plasma coverage without additional instrumentation.

The API documentation can be found at https://build.portals.fi/docs.
Plasma is fully available in the developer dashboard.

Protocol Coverage

Initial protocol coverage on Plasma includes Aave, Ethena, Fluid, and Euler, alongside the leading DEXs and yield protocols deployed on the network. As with every chain Portals supports, coverage expands continuously, with new protocols and DEXs added as the ecosystem grows.

Why Plasma

Adding network support is a deliberate decision. We look at where serious infrastructure is being deployed, where liquidity is real and growing, and where our tools provide the most value to the builders and traders operating there.

Plasma clears all three. Stablecoin settlement is one of the most active buildout areas in DeFi right now; $33 trillion in volume in 2025, with the infrastructure layer still largely undecided.

Plasma has the backing, the architecture, and the early traction to be a serious contender for where a significant portion of global stablecoin volume settles.
