The third time I see the term "modular chain" brought up, I still have the same point: for ordinary users, the biggest change isn't that it sounds more advanced, but whether the slippage when swapping tokens on DEX has actually decreased, and whether there are fewer layers of fees and confirmation delays when bridging across chains. Modularization separates execution and data, ideally allowing the underlying layer to handle more traffic, reduce congestion, and prevent on-chain price differences from fluctuating wildly... but honestly, what you perceive is still: more networks in your wallet, more bridges, and more risk points as well.

Recently, the NFT royalty debate has been intense and also somewhat similar: on one side, creators need to earn a living; on the other, secondary liquidity needs to be smooth. In the end, for users, it boils down to "how much am I being charged per trade, and can I sell it smoothly." No matter how the technology is split, don’t let it end up just being complexity and blame. For now, I’ll keep watching data on the chain as a lone wolf.
