Recently, the word "modularization" has been floating around a lot. To put it simply for us end users, it's not that mysterious: you're still using the same wallet, clicking the same confirm button, it's just that the "workhorses" behind the scenes have been separated, each focusing more on their own tasks. If done well, the experience feels like transactions are less congested, fees are more reasonable, and occasional cross-chain or asset swaps are less nerve-wracking (but don't trust too much—bridges and contracts can still fail).

Now, the set of testnet incentives and points is heating up again, and everyone is guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens... I find it quite lively too, but what I care more about is: after the excitement dies down, will the chain still retain real usage? Anyway, I’ll just watch from the sidelines; anything that makes things simpler is progress.
