I tried once, splitting funds in cross-chain and rollup layers into those "parallel/sharding narratives" to see if the experience could be smoother. The most obvious result wasn't the TPS number, but that: it's easy to put assets in, but when you want to withdraw, the path gets a bit convoluted—bridges, delays, challenge periods, liquidity depth... a bunch of details suddenly become very important. To put it simply, the bigger the narrative, the more you need to think through how to exit and whether you can rescue yourself in the worst case, or you're just locking yourself into the structure.

Recently, the NFT royalty debate also seems quite similar: everyone is arguing about whether "they should collect," but for someone like me who just wants safe transactions, whether the deal can go through smoothly and whether I can transfer assets easily feels more real. Anyway, now when I make diagrams, I also highlight the "exit paths" and "risk points" more prominently—putting the hype aside for now.
