Lately I've been looking into what "modular chains" actually bring to regular users. Honestly, just because it's modular doesn't mean you'll confirm fewer times... The more noticeable change is: for the same transaction, it might be cheaper/faster/more smooth, but you still can't avoid dealing with multiple networks and bridges in your wallet, and the risk of making a mistake hasn't decreased. A few days ago, before and after that mainstream public chain upgrade/maintenance, everyone in the group was guessing whether the project would move. I think for users, whether they "move" or not ultimately comes down to: do I need to cross-chain my assets, re-authorize, or redo the data dashboard? The hassle is real.
My own simple trick to avoid impulsive orders: first, write down the reasons I want to buy in one column of a spreadsheet, then forcibly wait an hour, and see if I can come up with three coherent reasons; if I can't, it basically means I was led astray by hype... Forget it, not buying. Then I check whether on-chain activity and locked tokens are synchronized; if not, I stay even calmer. Anyway, that's how I'll do it for now.
