Modularity—I've been thinking about it for quite a while, but I still don’t really see what it’s supposed to do for someone like me, a retail investor. Do the chains get faster? Is gas lower? It doesn’t seem like it’s gotten lower by much.

What I do understand better is that recently people have been blasting EigenLayer’s whole “stacking dolls” setup pretty hard. Shared security sounds impressive, but if something actually goes wrong, who are you supposed to claim compensation from? Anyway, I don’t get it.

To put it simply, I’ve made myself a rule: for any new project that says it will “re-stake and stack on top of the returns,” I’ll keep at most 20% of my wallet in it. Once I hit that limit, I set a reminder to pop up, so I don’t give in to temptation and add more. Before I had this cap, seeing those APY numbers flashing at midnight would really get me fired up. Now that there’s a forced cooling-off period, I can sleep more peacefully.

That’s it for now. I’ll wait until a real killer app shows up—I'm not playing this stacking-dolls game anymore.
