Now uploading to the blockchain is like ordering takeout: the mainnet is expensive but stable, Layer 2 is cheap but occasionally gets stuck. To be honest, my compromise approach is pretty crude—small, frequent transactions go on L2, but when I need to move large amounts or do multiple approvals, I still go back to the mainnet once to get it done, so I don’t lose sleep at night. L2 experience is pretty smooth most of the time, but when I hit the bridge step, I start seeing "refresh/retry/queue" three-in-a-row, and my mood spikes, almost wanting to chase high and tap randomly… then I remember I called my ice cream semi-melted, so I stay calm and transfer in batches. Recently, modularization and DA layer narrative developers are talking excitedly, but as a user like me, I only care about: don’t make every confirmation feel like opening a blind box. Anyway, keep the position small, steps fewer, and the cost of mistakes lower.
