My phone just popped up a red dot again: there's a new chain/new layer has launched, and they say they're "modular" again... To be honest, for a end-user like me, the most direct feelings are twofold: more networks to choose from in the wallet, more transaction fees when crossing back and forth; and make sure the execution quality doesn't drop the ball, otherwise saving those few gas fees ends up costing me in slippage and failed transactions.

Modular sounds fancy, but in practice it means: the same application might run in different places, cheaper isn't necessarily stable, stable isn't necessarily cheap. I can only keep an eye on confirmation speed, failure rate, and bridge risks—anyway, detailed calculations turn into "total accounting."

By the way, it reminded me of the economic collapse of chain games, with inflation + studio minting + coin price spiral. No matter how the modules are拆, the chain can't be saved, and users still run away when the experience is bad. That's it for now; I don't want to gamble on unfamiliar bridges just to save a few transaction fees today.
