π What is it?
Modular blockchains separate core functions like execution, consensus, and data availability into different layers. Unlike monolithic chains (like Ethereum), they focus on specialization and flexibility.
π₯ Why is it trending?
β
Increased scalability and efficiency
β
Greater developer freedom to build optimized dApps
β
Rising projects like Celestia, EigenLayer, and Fuel leading the charge
β οΈ Risks:
β Complexity for new users and developers
β The ecosystem is still early β not all modular designs will succeed
β Reliance on multiple layers can introduce new vulnerabilities
π Outlook:
Modular blockchains could become the infrastructure backbone of the next-gen crypto ecosystem. If adoption continues, they may redefine how blockchains are built and scaled.
Modularity isnβt a trend β itβs a new architecture for crypto.
