Modularization sounds very fancy, but for someone like me who eats noodles on DEXs every day, honestly: the same swap might go through a cheaper chain or settle on a different layer, and in terms of experience—it's just two things—fees shouldn't be outrageous, and failure rates shouldn't be too high. You don't need to understand who executes and who manages the data; in the end, you only care about whether the confirmation is quick or not, whether the slippage suddenly spikes... If routing can automatically choose the deeper liquidity, I’ll consider it truly changing the user experience.

Recently, some people have been watching large on-chain transfers and the movement of hot and cold wallets on exchanges as "smart money." I’ve seen so much that I’m a bit skeptical: are moving assets around, rebalancing, or market making also considered smart? Anyway, don’t get too excited just because there’s some abnormal activity.

If I could only keep one habit: check slippage and depth before placing an order.
