Recently, there's been more talk about what "modular blockchains" are actually useful for. Honestly, for a typical end-user like me, there are only two main changes: one is that transfers/interactions no longer get stuck in PPT-like delays, and the other is that my wallet now has a bunch of "dust" to manage...

Splitting execution, settlement, and data on the chain sounds very advanced, but the feeling is: the same app might run on one chain today and switch to another tomorrow. You just want to click confirm, but then you have to switch networks, change bridges, sign a bunch of authorizations—it's quite annoying.
Recently, that mainstream public chain is upgrading/maintaining, and everyone in the group is guessing whether the ecosystem will move. I'm not too excited; anyway, most of the suffering will still fall on users: assets get scattered, Gas styles change, airdrop rules are rewritten.
There's so much information that it makes me anxious. My current filtering method is simple: only focus on "the protocols I really know how to use + the tokens/NFTs I actually have in my wallet." Other buzz is just background noise. I'll wait until the dust settles and floats into my pocket.
