There has been a 'curse' circulating in the market: speed, cost, and security—you can only choose two.

But this logic is being broken.

The changes brought by modular architecture are straightforward—Ethereum-level security guarantees combined with exchange-level transaction speed. It sounds simple, but it actually changes the real issues traders face. Millisecond response differences, lower slippage, deeper liquidity pools, smarter infrastructure—when real trading volume floods in, these details make all the difference.

Breaking the dilemma of choosing two out of three is becoming the focus of competition for the next-generation infrastructure.

This modular system is really interesting, but to be honest, how many people can truly excel at all three... Let's wait and see.

This modular approach should have been implemented a long time ago. Why insist on sticking to the "choose two out of three" rule? It's a flawed approach. It sounds convincing, but only when you actually try it do you realize if the slippage is low enough. No matter how loudly people praise it, it doesn't matter. If this round can truly achieve security + speed + affordability, those old chains will be crying their eyes out.

The classic three-choice-two problem, can it really be broken this time, or is it just another round of hype around concepts?

The three-choice-two curse should have been broken long ago. The problem is that most projects can't even achieve millisecond-level stability. No matter how loud they boast, it's all just paper tigers. What truly matters is the efficiency of node validation and whether the consensus mechanism has any critical flaws. Data doesn't lie. How much is the slippage controlled? What are the staking yields? These are the real standards for evaluation. Modularization sounds sexy, but network reliability is the real life-or-death line. Many talk about breaking the three-choice-two curse, but truly solid infrastructure developers are rare. Who's telling stories this round? It all depends on on-chain data.

This is just all talk, let's wait and see when real big funds come in. By then, slippage will still be slippage.

It's hard to buy early knowledge with a thousand gold. I should have chosen speed over security back then. Now that I've been liquidated, it's too late to regret. Getting liquidated again, just a millisecond response time away. Security, in the face of liquidation prices, is all just an illusion. Slippage ate me alive. Really, if the modular system could actually deliver, I would go all in. Deep liquidity is great, at least during liquidation, someone is willing to take the other side. Two out of three? Bro, I can't even pick one right now, let alone break the pattern. Why hasn't anyone pointed this out? Isn't this just an indirect way of saying the infrastructure was garbage before? Milliseconds difference sounds fancy, but a slightly worse risk control point still leads to liquidation. Loan-to-value ratio is the real curse, not some three-out-of-two thing. The biggest fear when bottom fishing is insufficient liquidity; a single order can get you stuck. Both eager and scared, feels like there's really something this time.

Speed, cost, security—can we really have it all? It seems doubtful; we'll probably have to go through another round of adjustments. Modularization sounds good, but can users truly feel the difference, or is it just another hype? Millisecond response times, deep liquidity... we won't know until the actual volume picks up; right now, it's all on paper. Everyone wants to build the next-generation infrastructure, but the key is who can first deliver a smooth user experience. Everyone talks about breaking the three choices—speed, security, and decentralization—but in the end, each has its own pitfalls. Ethereum security + exchange speed—this combo sounds tempting at first glance, but is it really stable? Breaking the curse is easy; real market feedback is the true indicator. Let's wait and see.
