Over the past few days, I’ve been watching discussions about modular blockchains, and it’s pretty lively, but for ordinary users, honestly, the changes aren’t really “revolutionary.” You’re still using the same wallet—pressing the same buttons; the main difference is that after execution/data/settlement get split up, the experience could become: the same kind of transfers won’t be so laggy, fees won’t swing wildly up and down, cross-chain won’t be so much like opening a blind box… Of course, the prerequisite is that you don’t just shove all the risks back into various bridges and middle layers.

That whole NFT royalty debate also feels a bit like this: everyone wants “structural optimization”—some want creators to be able to make a living, and at the same time others want smooth secondary liquidity. In the end, for users, it comes down to this: the rules are more fragmented, platforms all do their own thing, and you still have to decide for yourself which market is more reliable. I’m tired, but I’m still here. Anyway, for now I’d rather do fewer tricks and spend more time figuring out clearly who’s going to be the first to blow up when it comes to clearing and when the chain gets congested.
