Recently, people keep saying "It's all written on the chain, the truth is on the chain," and I can't help but feel a bit amused and a little guilty... To put it simply, that "on-chain data" you see is separated by nodes, RPCs, indexers, and a bunch of couriers passing the data around. Whoever is busy, who is congested, who is having a glitch, the information might be delayed. If you stare at a dashboard for a long time without it updating, it doesn't necessarily mean nothing has happened; maybe it just hasn't been "translated" to you yet.

These days, Layer 2 projects are competing in TPS, fees, and subsidies, and it's quite lively. I also envy others' dashboards that are fast and comprehensive, while my side gets stuck like a small cabin with no internet... But thinking about it, it's normal; infrastructure always involves delays and trade-offs. Anyway, I'm more relaxed now: just wait a few more minutes for key operations, compare with several sources, and don't treat the "time you see" as the "time it happened." During a bear market, it's better to slow down, it's quite good.
