Last night, the group was again sharing screenshots of "a certain stablecoin losing its peg" or "reserve audits having shady dealings."
As I sipped my drink, I thought: frankly, no matter how modular blockchains are split into execution/data/settlement layers, for most end users, the change probably boils down to two words—experience.
Transfers shouldn't get stuck, fees shouldn't feel like a cut, wallets shouldn't constantly pop up confusing confirmations.
If those can really be achieved, then it's truly a change at the core.
I once fell for the phrase "new architecture is cheaper and faster,"
jumping from bridge to bridge, with a bunch of options on the page,
and in the end, I clicked the wrong network.
My funds weren't lost, but they were locked for a long time, and I was so frustrated I turned green...
At that moment, I realized: if you don't understand it, just don't touch it.
Don't argue with yourself.
Anyway, how developers piece together the tech is their romantic pursuit;
users just want fewer pitfalls and less scare tactics, especially now, when even a tiny ripple in stablecoins can crush people's confidence.
Let's leave it at that for now.
