According to crypto influencer "Crypto Fearless," the Plasma and Blast teams have some overlap in personnel, and the entire team lacks any expertise in payment or stablecoins. Plasma's current model is nearly identical to Blast's: identify a popular market, launch a model to attract deposits, and then complete the coin issuance. Pacman fell out with the entire original Blast team, and with the exception of Tieshun, the majority of the original team members left to work on Plasma. With the exception of Pacman, who publicly disclosed their real names, the remaining Blast team members have remained anonymous. Consequently, no Plasma team member's resumes contain any reference to Blast.
