I’ve been thinking about modular blockchains lately—honestly, what actually changes for ordinary users? At least in my view, before, when you played with a chain, you either got something cheap but slow, or something fast but expensive. Now modularization splits execution, consensus, and data availability. As a user, it feels like you just click once and leave—you don’t have to worry about how the line is queued up in the background.



But the question is: is this really a good thing? Recently, new L1/L2 projects have been rolling out incentives to attract TVL, and even old users are complaining about “dig, withdraw, sell.” I looked into it: the real issue isn’t modularization itself. It’s that a lot of people still haven’t figured out how to play after things get broken down into layers.

What I regret isn’t the outcome—it’s not seeing this layered logic clearly earlier. I used to think every chain was independent, but now I realize it’s more like building blocks: you just pick the modules you like and put them together. But when it comes to the terminal experience, well, for most people it still feels like “click once and go”—there’s really not much difference.

Forget it—I’ve written too much, like a tutorial. It’s that kind of origami tutorial feeling: fold complex strategies into simple rules—entry, adding to your position, withdrawing. Modularization is the same way: first think through your own needs, then choose the corresponding layer.
