Recently, people have been talking about modular blockchains. To put it simply, as an end user like me, I only care about two points: will the interaction be smoother, and will the costs be more controllable? In the past, if one chain got stuck, everything would be stuck. Now, after splitting it up, at least some applications can still run, and transaction confirmations are no longer so mysterious; but the side effects are also quite annoying. Bridges and signatures across layers increase, wallet pop-ups look like a series of exam questions, and one wrong click is game over.

Plus, recently hardware wallets have been out of stock, phishing links are rampant, and the more "modular" it gets, the easier it is to be tricked into strange redirects. There’s just too much information, and I really feel a bit anxious… My filtering method is pretty crude: I only recognize official domains and my own maintained list. No matter how attractive a task is, I wait a day to see if the community reports any issues before deciding whether to go for it. Anyway, staying alive first—airdrops only matter if I survive.
