Lately, I've been a bit overwhelmed by on-chain data: even though others say "it's already on the chain," my explorer still shows no activity... It wasn't until later that I realized, what you're seeing as "on the chain" is actually the timeline played out by nodes/RPCs/indexers together. Sometimes the node connected via RPC is a bit behind, and the indexer is a half beat slow, so you think your operation failed, keep retrying frantically, and end up paying more gas, just increasing your own costs.

Now, before I interact, I check which RPC I'm using first, and if necessary, switch to a more stable one (don't ask, it's part of the interaction cost). I also envy those veterans who immediately know "it's just display delay, don't panic," I'm still practicing.

By the way, recently hardware wallets are out of stock + phishing links are everywhere, everyone's security awareness has improved, but don’t panic and click "speed up/retry" out of anxiety—sometimes you're just being fooled by delays. That's all for now; today I reviewed my own shaky hands once again.
