Lately I keep hearing people talk about “modular blockchains.” To be blunt, for someone like me—a terminal user—the most direct changes aren’t that mystical. It’s basically that the blockchain is becoming more and more like a bunch of parts assembled together. I’m still the one who clicks the transaction signature, but behind the scenes, it depends on which execution layer is involved, which data is available, how the bridge is routed… and honestly, I’m more anxious now. I’m afraid some part of the process will break the chain.

Before, all I needed to remember was whether “this blockchain is stable.” Now it’s whether “this whole combination is stable.” My wallet has a whole bunch of networks, and Gas comes in several types too. Moving across them, it feels like I’m moving house—like my key ring keeps getting more and more keys. With my obsessive-compulsive tendencies, I can only be even more conservative: I’d rather go slower and avoid getting tangled in overly complicated routes.

That kind of economic collapse in blockchain games also reminds me: no matter how nicely the system is modularized, what users ultimately feel is still this—whether they can safely exit their assets. And once inflation and studio operations hit together, coin prices start spiraling upward; no one can really handle it. No matter how good the technology is, I don’t want to be the one scrambling at midnight to find customer service and track down a bridge… Let’s leave it at that for now.
