I got swept up in the latest narrative of “modularization and the DA layer” again—developers were chatting and getting excited, and users (including me) were left staring like: what does this have to do with the transactions in my wallet at all… I only need to grab onto one main thread now: the transaction you send out first has to be visible to someone (data availability), then you figure out who has the right to get in line first (ordering), and finally you see when it truly settles and doesn’t end up going sideways (finality). It’s a whole stack of terms, but if you boil it down, it’s basically this: am I being front-run, am I being hidden, and will it get rolled back later? I’m still drawing out the MEV path, and while I’m drawing it, I realize I’m getting slapped in the face by new tricks… Anyway, for now, it’s like that. I don’t believe the saying anymore that “if it looks decentralized, it must be fairer.”
