I've always felt that this modular narrative, frankly, the most intuitive change for end users isn't "more advanced," but that the experience starts to feel a bit like switching to a different underlying carrier: the same wallet and the same operations, but after splitting settlement, data, and execution, the speed, costs, and occasional lag reasons all become different. Usually, I stay silent and don't say much because many improvements are so subtle on-chain that you don't really notice them...

But recently, when incidents like cross-chain bridge thefts happen again, I suddenly realize: modularization exposes "which layer has a problem" more clearly, while also fragmenting the responsibility boundaries—ultimately, users are left with just one sentence: "I'll wait for confirmation." The incident with oracle abnormal quotes was the same; everyone collectively waits for a few blocks to confirm, but psychologically, it's really about waiting for the system to prove it's not broken.

If at that time, the trust/verification links between these components had been a bit smoother, maybe everyone wouldn't reflexively stop… Anyway, now when I look at new chains and new bridges, my first reaction isn't to rush in, but to observe the on-chain behavior for a while first.
