Recently, people keep asking me what "modularization" has to do with someone like me, a retail user... Honestly, it’s just breaking down activities like settlement, execution, and data into separate parts, each doing their own thing. The most intuitive feeling: transaction fees might be easier to control, and congestion won’t cause a complete blockage; but at the same time, there are more options, and if any layer has issues, you’ll be the one to take the blame—jumping around, waiting for confirmations, a bunch of wallet pop-ups. Not to mention newcomers, I find it annoying too.

Right now, I see it from a profit-seeking perspective: with the same number of interactions, can I spend less on fees, avoid one more bridge crossing, or wait for one less confirmation round? As for the recent extreme funding rates, whether the community is arguing about a reversal or still pumping the bubble, I tend to prefer tightening the risk: lively as it is, no matter how much the underlying infrastructure is spent, it can’t save the reckless trading at the top. That’s it for now, I’ll slowly get used to it.
