Lately, everyone has been talking about "modularity." It sounds pretty impressive, but from the perspective of an ordinary user, I’ve thought: what might really change isn’t learning a bunch of new terms, but the experience before and after you click confirm. For example, with transfers or interactions, some blockchains are smoother, less likely to get stuck halfway, and don’t burn a ton of fees even if they fail; also, cross-chain and chain-switching might be hidden in the background—you only see "usable," but actually, there are several layers in between.
But honestly, modularity breaks down the work, and the security boundaries are also broken apart. Before, you only needed to trust the consensus and nodes of one chain; now, you have to trust multiple components, bridges, orderers, and other "middlemen." When problems occur, it’s more like “it’s not my wallet’s issue, it’s a upstream component dropping the ball.” The same goes for AI Agents and automated trading these days—everyone’s hyping it up, but I care more about what it’s actually signing, who it’s authorizing, and whether I can revoke permissions with one click… Anyway, I’d rather go slower, check permissions and interaction paths more carefully, and avoid digging my own hole.
