The modular blockchain has been asked about quite a bit recently. My understanding is: the most intuitive change for end users is not that it's "more advanced," but that behind a single confirmation click, there may be several layers running. To put it simply, in the future, you might not even care which chain you're on; wallets/apps will handle routing, cross-chain transfers, and settlement for you, and you'll only see "cheaper, faster, fewer failures." But there’s a cost: with more layers, there are more points of failure, and a smoother experience doesn’t mean less risk.
Actually, this is even more evident now with AI Agents and automated trading. Many people are hyping "full automation," but I’m more concerned about what permissions they use to sign transactions, whether there are limits, and if errors can be reversed. Anyway, I still stick to my old habit when doing LP: I prefer to earn a little less, give the minimum permissions, and avoid one-click escrow if manual control is possible, so I can sleep more peacefully.
