Recently, when I look at on-chain data, it always feels like there’s a sense of “delayed live broadcasting.” You stare at your wallet as it moves—yet in reality, the node/RPC you’re using stalls for a moment first, and then the indexer slowly spits the information out. Put simply, what you see as “on-chain” may not be real time; it’s only the slice that a service provider is willing to give you at that moment.

In the past couple of days, Meme and celebrity trading calls have once again turned attention to max. Newcomers rush in chasing the heat, only to look back and realize they took it like “the last runner.” In fact, the signal might already be a few minutes late… not to mention that some browser pages are still just spinning. Anyway, whenever I see a sudden surge or my feed suddenly gets flooded, I first suspect that the entry point I’m using is slow, and then decide whether to take action—so my emotions don’t confirm before the block does.
