The word "modular chain" has been overused lately, but from my perspective as someone who’s been in the game since "early coffee, late mint," it boils down to two things: smoother entry and exit, and a floor that feels like there's water supporting it. In the past, crossing back and forth meant waiting for bridges or fearing getting stuck; now, many times it’s as natural as changing a receiving address (of course, sometimes it still acts up). Layer 2s argue every day about TPS, transaction fees, ecosystem subsidies, and I keep refreshing, wanting to rush in, then I realize it’s pretty funny. The real change might not be who’s faster, but that when I hit confirm, I don’t feel as panicked, failures are fewer, and I thank the heavens if liquidity suddenly drops out… Anyway, I still get FOMO, but at least I’m not so blindly rushing in.
