Modular blockchain, in essence, is about splitting the work that used to be done by one person among several people. Sounds nice, right?

But lately, I've been scrolling through unlock calendars so much that it's gotten a bit numb. Every day I watch which project is about to release tokens and dump the market, and suddenly I realized something—end users don't really care how you split the underlying structure. They only care about whether gas fees can be cheaper, whether cross-chain won't get stuck for half an hour, and whether the staked coins will unlock tomorrow and hit me in the face.

Anyway, now whenever I see a new chain, the first thing I check is the unlock schedule. No matter how fancy the tech is, if the token distribution is unhealthy, it's useless. That's it.
