Recently, people have been talking a lot about modular blockchains. Basically, what changes does it bring to end users? My most straightforward feeling is: you might not even know which chain you're using at all, signing with your wallet, switching across, and the settlement behind the scenes is all up in the air. But if the experience is well-designed, it’s cheaper, faster, and has a lower failure rate. The problem is, now with new L1/L2 launches, the incentive to pull in TVL starts immediately. Old users complain, “Mining, taking profits, selling,” I get it... A bunch of people rush in to farm, and as a result, the chain gets congested like a busy market. No matter how beautiful the structure is, it can’t withstand human nature.
What I don’t regret is that I still prefer to look at the structure first before taking action. Even if I occasionally get excited on weekends, I’ll leave a way out. Anyway, don’t treat yourself as an eternal motion machine.
