I'm no longer really explaining "modularity" anymore; in the end, it all comes down to the end user. Most of the time, it feels like three things: transfer without card, fees that don't scare you, and when something goes wrong, don't make me the guinea pig. Honestly, whether you call it layering or Lego building, as long as I click confirm and don’t have to wait forever or suddenly get a failure prompt to retry, the experience is half won.
These days, that mainstream public chain is about to upgrade/maintain, and the group is guessing whether the ecosystem will collectively move out. I find it pretty funny: project teams say "technical route," but inside they’re probably thinking "Will users curse me, and is the incentive enough?" Whether to migrate or not boils down to one question for ordinary people: do they have to re-adapt all those addresses, bridges, and Gas tokens in their wallets… Sometimes I’d rather it be a bit more random but stable, rather than having to relearn everything with each upgrade. Anyway, I’ll keep voting and complaining, just don’t shift the blame onto the users.
