These days, I've been looking into the "modularization" approach again. To be honest, the changes for end users might not be that sci-fi: you're still doing transfers, swapping coins, or providing liquidity, but the execution layer/data layer is separated behind the scenes. The fee structure and confirmation experience are a bit less stable—sometimes ridiculously cheap, other times so congested that you question life. For someone like me who calculates real annualized returns, the biggest annoyance is when transaction fees change, making the APR look high but actually being eaten up by friction.

Recently, retail investors have been complaining about validator/miner income, MEV, and fair ordering, and I can understand… Even though I pressed confirm, the transaction was "cut in line," and slippage was amplified. It feels less like I’m slow, and more like someone is scripting in front of me.

Now, whenever I create a new pool, I set up alerts and limits first. It was pretty awkward at first, afraid of missing opportunities; but after using it for a while, my mindset stabilized: if I can't earn, so be it. At least I won't wake up to find myself drained or wiped out by reordering… That’s how I’ll proceed for now.
