Have you noticed that recently, discussions about modular blockchains are just like talking about home renovation?
From the outside, it all looks the same style, but inside, the water and electricity might be separated, which only developers get excited about.😂
For end users, honestly, most of the time there are just two things:
First, the bunch of network options in the wallet will keep increasing, and if I click the wrong one once, I have to bridge again, which might not improve the experience;
Second, if the separation is done reasonably, during congestion, it won't be a "citywide blackout," transferring funds or minting an NFT might be smoother, but you might not know how many layers are behind it.
Instead, now Layer2 is arguing over TPS, fees, and subsidies.
It looks a bit like a mall grand opening with loudspeakers…
It's lively, but what really keeps people is the liquidity and the emotional turning point.
Anyway, I personally care more about: how many modules the chain has changed isn't important, just don't make me feel like every transaction is a blind box.
