Honestly, to be frank, I’ve been reading a bunch of analyses about the concept of modular blockchains lately, but the more I read, the more I feel… for people like us end users, it’s actually pretty abstract. You ask me what it has changed—after thinking about it for a long time, it feels like it’s basically the same thing: back then, when something went wrong on-chain, everyone complained that L1 wasn’t fast enough or stable enough. Now people complain about L2, the DA layer, the sequencer—anyway, there are more things to complain about—but the bottleneck is still there, and the fees are still expensive.



The other day, another cross-chain bridge incident happened. The oracle’s pricing came out abnormally, and then everyone just kept saying “waiting for confirmation.” I waited for half an hour, and in the end I found out it was a middleware issue in some module. It really wore me out worrying—but I didn’t actually lose money; it was just a waste of time. Basically, modularization is a good thing for developers, but for ordinary users, it might only add another layer of “abstract” anxiety—you never know which layer is dragging things down. As for me, when I do any interaction now, I first check which modules the project uses. If it’s too complicated, I just quietly avoid it. If the costs can’t be properly accounted for, then don’t go messing around.
