In simple terms, modular chains’ most intuitive change for ordinary people isn’t really the four words “more advanced.” It’s this: with the same operation, it increasingly feels like swapping elevators across different shopping malls— the settlement layer, the execution layer, and the data layer are separated. What you may notice is that things are a bit faster, and sometimes fees are a little smoother, but when something goes wrong, it also gets more confusing: where exactly is it getting stuck? And who ends up taking the blame?

Recently, AI Agents and automated trading—those one-click on-chain interactions—have been getting all the hype. But I’m actually even more cautious… They hide the complexity. Pressing a button feels great. But who’s actually watching over permissions, signatures, and the scope of authorization for you? No matter how big the narrative gets, in the end it’s still safety that’s the most strict and most picky. Anyway, I’d rather confirm a couple more times now than deal with the “afterwards, I’m so upset I want to draw a black electrocardiogram.”
