After I muted the group, my ears really felt a lot clearer. No more getting asked every ten minutes whether the mainnet will issue tokens or whether points can still be topped up. Instead, I can stay calm and think about what this whole modular setup really changes for someone like me, as an end user. To put it plainly, it’s not like I suddenly understand the technology better. It’s that the same thing—transferring funds, swapping tokens, completing tasks—might be scattered across multiple layers. Sometimes the experience is cheaper and faster, but it’s also easier to lose the context—which chain, which bridge, which address. If you click the wrong one, you end up paying tuition.

In the past, once I got impulsive and saw incentives on the testnet, I wanted to throw everything in. Now, when I flip through the ledger, I get scared instead: the time spent, the gas fees, and that kind of emotional cost of “everyone else is grinding, so I have to grind too.” Add it all up, and it’s actually pretty expensive. Whether it’s modularity or points, in the end, what lands on the user is this: more paths, more temptations. I can only keep using rules to restrain myself… for now, that’s how it is.
