Recently, people keep asking me what modular blockchains have to do with regular users. To put it simply, you're not here to study architecture; you're here to "be user-friendly + avoid getting scammed." Modularization is more like taking apart the kitchen: the frying pan for cooking, the chopping board for prep, the sink for washing dishes, each doing their own thing. The result is— for the same operation, it might be cheaper and faster, and swapping out a "pan" can keep the process going, so your restaurant won't blow up and ruin your dinner.

But the side effects are also very real: crossing back and forth, bridging here and there, having more entry points also makes it easier to make mistakes. Recently, the staking unlocks, token unlock calendar, have been brought up again to scare people. Actually, for someone like me who uses chains, my anxiety isn't about "will it crash," but about liquidity shifting or transaction fees fluctuating, causing my transaction to need readjustment.

My colleague just said one thing: "Can you not make me learn three different wallets just to save two bucks in fees?" After hearing that, I wanted to laugh but couldn't. Anyway, I’ll stick to familiar ecosystems and not let the "advanced modularity" make me a guinea pig.
