Just now in the elevator, I was scrolling through the chat group when I saw someone arguing about "what exactly has modular blockchain changed"… Honestly, for end users, the most direct impacts are probably two things: transactions no longer get stuck like in PowerPoint, and fees aren’t fluctuating from a few cents to dozens of dollars at a time. The rest—those "execution layer/data layer" terms—sound like building materials; in reality, it’s just: click the same button, lower failure rate, and avoid wallet pop-ups that keep asking me to re-sign.
But don’t get too romantic about it either. Modularization splits the chain apart, and with that, the number of "assembly seams" like bridges and cross-chains increases. Security actually becomes more challenging. Recently, AI agents automatically trading for you and on-chain interactions—some hype it as a fully automated wealth elevator, others are crouching down to study permission and signature details… Anyway, when I see the words "unlimited authorization," I get nervous—better to earn a little less than to hand yourself over to a robot clicking around randomly. Leverage is even more unpredictable; it goes up fast and comes down just as quickly.
