I was just staring blankly at a miner’s earnings curve when, out of nowhere, I started thinking about modular blockchains—something people have been chatting about nonstop lately. To be honest, for regular users like us, the whole idea of splitting things like the DA layer and the execution layer sounds pretty cool. But when you actually use dApps, does it really feel any different from before? Maybe cross-chain transfers are just a tiny bit smoother, and “gas” is a little smaller.

Lately, I’ve been checking the unlock calendar and it makes people anxious—the sell pressure from staked tokens unlocking. Me, I’m not really good at doing the math, and I’m not going to chase explanations. I guess I’ll just go with whatever happens. Sometimes I think no matter how modular the on-chain world gets, in the end, what ends up in your hands is still those up-and-down curves and the murmurs floating in the air. For now, that’s it.
