Lately I keep hearing people talk about "modular chains," and honestly, for someone like me, a end-user, the most obvious changes are just two: transaction fees don't fluctuate as wildly, and transfers don't get stuck for ages to confirm. As for you asking me to perceive what "data availability layer" or "execution layer" means, I usually don't bother to think about it—if I can use it, that's enough.

But I do have some complaints: now there are a bunch of chains, a bunch of bridges, and pop-up wallets, making the paths more complicated, and the risks are actually more dispersed... Also, miners/validators' income, MEV, and transaction ordering fairness have recently been criticized by retail investors again. I understand, I clearly clicked "trade at market price," but it feels like being cut in line. Anyway, my own discipline remains the same: avoid chasing new narratives, wait until liquidity and experience are really stable before increasing my positions, for now, that's it.
