Recently, I saw the word "modularization" trending again.


Honestly, what does it really change for ordinary people?
My most direct feeling is not about how "advanced the technology is," but that it feels like switching to a different road:
Before, one chain did everything; if it got congested, everything was stuck.
Now, separating execution and data, doing each thing separately,
the result might be that you can transfer or do small interactions without getting stuck during congestion,
and transaction fees are less emotionally volatile.
But on the other hand, it’s also quite annoying: more bridges, longer paths, more signatures,
and when something goes wrong, it’s harder to tell who’s really at fault.

Then in the group, there’s talk about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and someone sharing rumors about "possible de-pegging,"
everyone gets nervous and starts swapping coins or pulling liquidity randomly...
In such times, the "more choices" brought by modularization may not be a good thing,
with a bunch of chains and versions in your wallet, it just makes you more anxious.
I now just think of myself as walking in the rain:
the fewer bridges crossed, the better;
spread out your funds a bit, don’t expect one road to never collapse.

That’s all for now.
