Recently, people have been talking about modular blockchains.
Honestly, what has really changed for us ordinary users?
My biggest feeling is that the "chain's fault" is starting to be shared:
Execution happens on this chain, data on that chain, and settlement runs on another layer,
You still click confirm in your wallet, but you need to pay more attention to who you are actually authorizing your money to, and which layer your money ultimately ends up on.
In the past, when something went wrong, you could blame a certain chain,
Now, when an issue occurs, you first need to identify:
Is it a bridge problem, a price feed issue with the oracle, or data delay on a certain layer?
And everyone ends up back to that phrase: "Wait for confirmation first."
The theft of cross-chain bridges also reminds me that modularity does not mean more security,
It just means more links, and permissions/upgrades keys/team wallets,
Any change could trigger a chain reaction.
Anyway, I still have my old habits:
First, check if the contract can be freely modified,
Whether LP is locked,
Who holds the management rights.
The less cross-chain, the better.
That's all for now, I need to get to work.
