The term "modular chain" has been heard so often that I feel the biggest change for end users isn't "more advanced technology," but rather that there are now a bunch of entry points in their wallets: assets can be transferred across different chains, switching execution layers is like changing shopping malls, and once settlement, data, and execution are separated, the experience becomes more about "where to use" rather than "what to use."
For someone like me who’s been digging into NFT graves, honestly, it means paying more attention when looking at floor prices and holding distributions: which rollup liquidity is flowing to, whether bridges are queuing, and whether Gas fees and block production pace will wipe out pending orders.
Recently, testnet incentives and staking expectations have heated up again. Everyone talks casually, but their hands are busy completing tasks while guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens…
Anyway, I’m now more concerned about rules and exit channels—so that in the end, I don’t end up with a bunch of points and on-chain assets stuck halfway through.
