Everyone is talking about "modular chains," which sounds very fancy. To be honest, for someone like me, a end-user, the biggest changes might just be two: cheaper and faster, plus more pop-ups in the wallet... Previously, a single chain could get stuck like a PPT, now it's layered and modular in different places, which does improve the experience a bit. But it also feels more like shopping in a mall: more entrances, more signs, and a higher chance of getting lost.

The recent collapse of the blockchain gaming sector is quite representative. Once inflation kicks in and studios enter the scene, the coin prices spiral downward as soon as they turn around, and no architecture can fix the old problem of "gameplay = mining." Anyway, I trust data more. My gut feeling is that this stuff is too easily swayed by candlestick charts and meme images... For now, let's leave it at that, and don't leverage too much.
