Recently, I got the itch again to explore the modular stuff, honestly not trying to be an expert, just saw that when the funding rate hits an extreme, the group debates whether to reverse or keep pumping the bubble, and that made me want to find some certainty that’s not so tightly bound to the price.

What exactly has modularization changed for end users? The feeling is twofold: first, fewer moments of “getting stuck/absurdly expensive” (settlement layer may not necessarily be faster, but after separating execution layer and DA, it can at least scale on demand); second, application migration isn’t as much like moving house—data availability, block production, ordering, these are just layered differently, and the app interface you use might not even change. There are also downsides: more chains, more bridges, and when something goes wrong, you simply don’t know who to blame… I’m currently just monitoring node/DA status graphs, which makes me feel more at ease. That’s all for now.
