I’m not very good at chatting about those grand narratives of parallelism and sharding—it all sounds quite lively—but the first thing that pops into my head is: how exactly do you exit this chain? On which layer does the “asset card” sit, and who’s responsible for it? Recently, modularization and the DA layer have been getting developers all excited, but on the user side, it’s actually more confusing: whose are that string of numbers in your wallet, and who do you go to when something goes wrong… To be blunt, I only care about two things: whether, during signing, the concept of “multi-sig/authorization” has been quietly swapped out; and when I want to exit, are the bridge and withdrawal exits still alive. I’ll try new chains and new layers too, but by default I use small amounts and separate addresses—if authorization can be avoided, I won’t approve it. I type the links myself: if it takes longer, so be it—just don’t end up at the end finding that the exit path is only a single line saying, “please wait patiently.”
