Finally someone says it! Modular chains are cool for techies, but the liquidity fragmentation is a total nightmare for actual users right now. Having everything in one place without bridging across five different L2s is just a way better experience. High-performance monoliths are the only way we actually hit mainstream adoption.
The argument for synchronous composability in monolithic architectures is hard to ignore from an efficiency standpoint. While modularity offers theoretically infinite scale, the latency introduced by cross-layer communication creates massive friction for complex DeFi maneuvers. It will be interesting to see if the modular roadmap can bridge this gap or if liquidity stays sticky on these high-speed engines.
Efficiency is great until you realize only a few massive data centers can actually run the nodes lol. Monoliths win the speed war by sacrificing the very thing that makes crypto valuable: true decentralization. I’ll take slightly higher latency on a modular stack if it means I don’t have to trust a handful of validator cartels. This efficiency feels like a bit of a trap.
