Modular chains, to put it simply, the biggest changes for end users might just be twofold: cheaper on-chain operations and more fragmented experiences. In the past, you only dealt with one chain; now it's a combination of execution layers, data layers, bridges, wallets, all pieced together. When things go smoothly, it feels like nothing has changed; when there's a hiccup, everyone starts blaming each other. Users only see "Why did it fail again / why is it so expensive / why do I have to switch networks?"
Recently, in the group, there’s been repeated sharing of rumors about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and various "de-pegging" warnings. When emotions run high, everyone forgets: no matter how advanced modularity is, in the end, you're still trusting the same receipt. There are benefits too, at least the underlying layers can iterate faster, and costs can be reduced... Just don’t treat announcements as fundamentals, especially those claiming "we’ve integrated layer X so it’s safer." Anyway, I’ll just watch quietly, enjoy the spectacle, then wait for the quiet.
