Recently, everyone has been talking about modular blockchains. Frankly, for someone like me, a end-user, the biggest change isn't some "architectural revolution," but rather: the ability to break down the same task into several cheaper steps. Since I do airdrop sub-chains, I’ve started to enjoy doing the math more: moving interactions from the mainnet to cheaper layers, saving on Gas so I can cover two or three more addresses, and not feeling so tense about it.
But it’s also a bit annoying—more chains, more bridges, a bunch of small change in the wallet, and you have to keep a close eye on security; otherwise, all the savings could be stolen through phishing… Recently, during extreme funding rate periods, the group argued whether to reverse positions or keep squeezing the bubble. I’ve actually started to narrow my focus: not betting on the market direction, just completing feasible tasks and capping costs. Surprisingly, that actually helps me stick to it better. For now, I’ll keep it like this, slowly picking out good products and praising them a bit.
