The term “modular blockchain” sounds pretty tough, but for someone like me, this terminal user, the biggest changes are really just two: first, chains are becoming more and more like “back-end services”—I only care whether the buttons work smoothly and whether the fees aren’t outrageous; second, assets and applications move around more often—today on this L2, tomorrow redirected to another. Whether the experience is good or not all depends on whether the bridge and the wallet are hassle-free. Recently, a bunch of new L1s/L2s have been offering incentives to attract TVL, and I understand why longtime users complain about “mining, staking, and selling.” After all, incentives come fast and go just as fast. Put simply, modularity is about helping developers split costs and improve performance—but for me, it boils down to this: can the process be more repeatable, and can risk warnings be more transparent. I’ll just take it slow with a fixed position and don’t let the new narratives pull me along.
