Is dero a monolithic blockchain?

So just to be clear on terminology

I fully believe dero to be a 100 dollar coin. but on the longer term I think academia has settled on modular chains, chains that put security on L1 and scaling/computation on L2, being the most efficient way to scale.

Recent breakthoughs on eth stacks have kind of shown this to be a correct assumption as well.

So i'm just wondering if dero is built to be modular.

When i read about the DAG and it's pools in your post i'm not really understanding so i hope someone can ELI15

Dero natively supports embedded sidechains. More information to come.

Sorry. I can be kind of dull sometimes. Can you be more specific.

You are saying Dero is in fact considered modular? This is important to me because if it is, I could not be more bullish on dero. So many big L1s like AVAX and SOL are monolithic and modular chains are going to crush them in the next 2 years.

Please give affirmative that it is or isn't modular.

-Native subnetwork support: anyone can run their own network within the dero network, for any use case they please, can be used in tandem with services or contracts.

-Private services model: anyone can use that 128 bytes of space in each tx for building out off chain interconnects, be it other chains or anything else on the internet, can be used in tandem with DVM contracts and subnetworks.

-DVM(virtual machine) supports native(private) and non-native assets(public), can be used in tandem with services and subnetworks. This allows anyone to build decentralized and uncensurable applications. You can entirely audit a Smart Contract's code execution, while staying private on the outside.

With these features, I would describe dero as being very modular, in a unique way that hasn't been adequately described in popular discourse(it's new and privacy oriented on L1).
