The third time I see everyone talking about "parallel/sharding" as if they've turned on an accelerator, the group chat is lively, and I nod along... But honestly, it all boils down to two things: where to put assets to reduce the risk of issues, and whether the withdrawal process is smooth when needed. Modularization and the DA layer have recently made developers excited, but on the user side, it's basically "what are you talking about," and I'm pretty much the same, only able to focus on the old issues like bridges, contract permissions, and wallet authorizations. I actively earn points, but now I'm more concerned about: if the hype dies down, can points be exchanged, is there liquidity, and do you have to queue to exit and block bridges... Anyway, don't just listen to stories, think about your escape routes first.
