Modularization sounds big and grand, but for someone like me—a terminal user—it really boils down to two things: first, on-chain operations shouldn’t keep charging dozens of dollars in fees whenever you do something; second, cross-chain transfers shouldn’t feel like opening a blind box—bridge security processes need to be more verifiable and transparent. As for everything else, like breaking up DA layers and execution layers and then breaking them apart again, in the end what hits you is just: “If I click, will I lose money?” and “Should I wait for confirmation until the end of time?”

Recently, the airdrop season is back. Task platforms are running an anti-sybil effort while also using a points system—those freebie hunters really do feel like they’re just clocking in for work… If modularization is only about spreading this kind of “arms race” to more chains, then honestly, it doesn’t feel like much.

There’s too much information noise. My noise-reduction strategy is simple: stick only to the fees, bridge audits, and governance proposals from the two or three chains I use regularly—everything else can wait; I’ll pass on it for now.
