Recently, people keep asking me what the point of modular blockchains is. To put it simply, for ordinary users, it might just be two words: experience. In the past, a single chain did everything; if it got congested, it became expensive and slow. Now, with separation, execution, data, and settlement are handled separately. When you open your wallet, you might just feel "why is there another network/bridge/confirmation prompt"... Saving money and speeding up is possible, but the steps are also more fragmented. Layer 2 has been comparing TPS, fees, and subsidies lately. I see it like the mining pools showing off their hash rate curves back in the day, and thinking about it now, it’s quite laughable. Anyway, what I care about more now is: don’t mess up security and usability when crossing back and forth. Cheap now, but if something goes wrong, it all gets thrown back.
