Honestly, the concept of modular blockchains has been discussed a lot in the DAO space, but I’ve been wondering what it actually changes for ordinary users like us. Back then, one public chain could handle things end-to-end. Now it’s split into so many layers—execution layer, data availability layer, settlement layer—sounds like building blocks. But when I’m using DApps, I still have to wait for confirmation, and I still have to pay Gas. In plain terms, no matter how much the underlying tech gets tinkered with, the terminal user experience hasn’t doubled in improvement. It feels like someone changed the packaging of the same hotpot base—pretty much the same flavor.

Recently, all those social mining and fan tokens have suddenly taken off. Things like “attention is mining” sound pretty impressive. But I can’t shake the feeling that this is a bit of a false proposition. No matter how valuable your attention is, how many projects actually measure your contribution? In the end, it still comes down to algorithms and voting, and it all turns into a messy stew. As for me—someone who can’t stop talking and won’t pick sides—I’d rather spend the time reading proposals than let these bubbles carry me along.

What I’m most afraid of missing isn’t opportunities—it’s the chance to understand the essence.
