Recently, there has been a lot of talk about modular blockchains. Frankly, for us end users, it probably boils down to two things: first, it's easier to "go where it's cheaper"—transactions, settlements, data all handled separately, with a bunch of different networks switching in your wallet; second, the experience becomes more fragmented. It looks convenient to cross over and check, but if you're not careful, you might get stuck at a bridge or a confirmation delay, and your mood can just blow up. I'm watching the perpetual contracts setup—whenever the funding rate or open interest fluctuates, I want to jump in. But then, with chain switching slippage and delays stacking up, I start questioning life again...
And there's also all this fuss about privacy coins/mixing coins. The more modularized it gets, the more it resembles "layered outsourcing" in terms of compliance boundaries: you click a button above, feeling nothing, but whether you've actually crossed a red line underneath is really hard to tell. Anyway, now I tend to pause for three seconds before placing an order. If I get impulsive and hit the wrong button, I just close the app to avoid losing money and having to stop trading for a week. As we say in Sichuan dialect: can't handle it.
