Recently, my mindset feels like I'm doing a version update: v1 still gets impressed by words like "modularization," thinking it sounds very futuristic; v2 starts asking myself—what does it really have to do with someone like me who just clicks a couple of times to transfer or swap coins? To put it plainly, end users only care about three things: no lag, low cost, and no loss. If modularization is just breaking down a bunch of steps and I still have to understand "which layer this transaction is on, which bridge it uses," then the experience becomes more fragmented, even if it's lively and bustling.
But if it can really reduce costs, lower failure rates, and avoid a bunch of messy prompts in the wallet, then I would admit it has made some change. As for the recent controversy over staking and sharing security with layered yield stacking, it looks more like a reminder: don’t treat announcements as fundamentals, no matter how fancy the yield is written, in the end, you're still bearing the complexity. For now, I prefer to go slow rather than take on an extra layer of unclear risk.
