I've been watching the blockchain while chatting with fans recently. People keep talking about "modularization" in a fancy way, but honestly, for end users, it might just come down to two things: one is making sure transfers and interactions don't get stuck in PPT slides, and fees don't fluctuate wildly; the other is whether switching the same wallet between different chains can be as simple as changing a page. Other concepts like DAOs and execution layers, ordinary people really don't have the time to learn all that… The key is usability, stability, and fewer surprises.
And then there's the sense of security. Now, the whole set of staking, shared security, and yield stacking being criticized as "pyramid schemes," I can understand that too. The returns look attractive, but if something goes wrong, who’s ultimately responsible, and how is on-chain liability divided? Users find it hard to judge. For modularization to really matter, it shouldn't just outsource complexity to users. Anyway, if I can't understand the narrative, I won't follow it—I accept missing out.
