Recently, people have been talking a lot about modular chains. Frankly, for someone like me who is a end-user, the biggest change is not that the "technology is more advanced," but that the interactions inside the wallet are becoming more fragmented: bridges, Rollups, various DA, clicking here and there like ordering takeout with extra toppings—it's satisfying, but also more prone to errors... Of course, cheaper gas and smoother block production are good, but what truly changes is that "which chain" you are on has become less important; in the end, it's just a bunch of cross-chain transactions.

Additionally, I no longer trust the tagging system of on-chain data tools. Being laggy is one thing, but sometimes they can also be manipulated to set the rhythm, making it look like big players are entering, only to find out the next day that they are just changing addresses or doing market-making arbitrage—awkward. Now I prefer to monitor perpetual funding rates and raw records of large transfers; it's slower, but at least I won't be led around by the nose by tags. If I make a mistake, I admit it. That's how it is for now.
