Honestly, the term “modularization” sounds pretty highfalutin, but when it lands on someone like me—a terminal user—the biggest changes boil down to two: first, the interaction paths are more fragmented. Today, my wallet connects to chain A, tomorrow I bridge over to chain B, and then roll up to C. There are more steps, but as long as the Gas is cheap, I can put up with it. Second, “cost/time” is easier to figure out. Which execution layer is cheaper, which DA is more reliable, and which cross-chain route is slower—once you compare them, you know whether you should take action.

Recently, the testnet incentives and points system have been scratching that itch again. I keep guessing whether the mainnet will actually issue tokens. I’m a bit hyped, but I’m also worried about putting in effort for nothing. (Anyway, I’ve already written my gas-fee budget into my notes.) For me, modularization isn’t a faith upgrade—it’s just this: for the same thing, can it be cheaper, faster, and not get stuck.
