The word "modularization" sounds very fancy, but honestly, for a typical end-user like me, the biggest changes might just be twofold: whether things can be cheaper and smoother, and how many "layers" I’m dealing with. Before, it was just confirming on a single chain, complaining a bit if it was expensive, then continuing; now there are main chains/DA/execute/cross-chain, with fees possibly coming down, but also more bridges, withdrawal times, and networks jumping around in my wallet... It’s a bit like food delivery getting cheaper but the pickup window turning into three or four different spots.
Recently, those new L1/L2s have been incentivizing to boost TVL, and I understand the old users’ complaints about "mining, withdrawing, selling." I get it—liquidity follows the rewards, and the experience is: interact here today, then get prompted to go there tomorrow to claim, and I just tap confirm whenever I get the itch. But I really need to be reminded: don’t tinker with your assets on bridges and let them sleep just to save a few gas fees. That’s all for now.
