I'm not very good at explaining how beautiful "modular narratives" are, but honestly, for end users, only two things really change: more chains in the wallet, and more confirmations on bridges, which also makes it harder to know who to blame when something goes wrong. In the past, if a chain underperformed, people would criticize it; now, it’s the execution layer, data layer, and sequencers each taking the blame, making the experience more like assembling a computer: theoretically more flexible, but in practice, you have to troubleshoot yourself.

Recently, everyone has been talking about staking unlocks and unlock calendar pressure anxiety. I actually think it’s quite similar to the "cognitive splitting" brought by modularization: assets and risks are broken down more finely, so you need to watch not just the price, but also which part might loosen first. Anyway, my current approach is very simple: minimize cross-chain interactions, avoid chasing new narratives, and first review past incidents so I don’t pretend I haven’t seen them next time.
