The term "modular chain" sounds very fancy, but everyone understands: for us end users, what really changes is not "more modules," but that the experience becomes more fragmented... Signing on this chain today, then having to re-authorize a bunch of contracts when switching to that chain tomorrow, with a row of pop-ups in the wallet that test my patience.
Recently, during the airdrop season, I also got caught up with task platforms, and the anti-witchcraft measures are increasingly like clocking in at work. Once the points system is rolled out, people are more likely to randomly click authorize when rushing to complete tasks. To put it simply, modularization makes the "division of labor" on the chain more detailed, but the responsibilities haven't decreased; in the end, it still comes down to your private keys and a bunch of permissions.
My current habit is pretty old-fashioned: after each cross-chain or task, I casually check the authorization list, revoke what I can, even if it means earning fewer points, I don't want to wake up one day to find the door lock not closed. Anyway, losing keys once can really lead to regret that lasts a long time.
