Modular Blockchains

This article analyzes Ethereum's adoption of a modular strategy and its impact. In the short term, this decision has led to ETH's price underperformance, mainly due to reduced fees and decreased token burning. However, the long-term benefits include maintaining Ethereum's high market share and creating significant value for its ecosystem. The article draws a parallel between Ethereum's approach and AWS, highlighting the different value assessment methods for decentralized protocols versus traditional companies. While the modular strategy may temporarily affect ETH prices, it offers Ethereum the flexibility needed for technological innovation and long-term competitiveness. Ultimately, this approach could be crucial for Ethereum to maintain its lead in the rapidly evolving blockchain space.
