Recently, I was so stupid: I kept focusing on "on-chain data" to make judgments, only to realize later that what I was actually looking at was the on-chain data "translated" for me by others... If any layer among nodes, RPC, or indexing gets stuck, what you see can be delayed by dozens of seconds or minutes, and during congestion, it gets even worse. To put it simply, it's not that on-chain data isn't transparent, but that I have too many windows open, which causes more delays.
The modularization and DA layer development got developers really excited, but users (like me) are completely confused: no matter how beautifully you tell the story, my RPC keeps acting up, and the experience is just "why can't I transfer again / why doesn't it show as received." Anyway, I've learned my lesson and now set alerts/limits for key addresses and positions, so I don't panic and slip up easily. Setting those up did give me some relief, but it also made me anxious: what if the alerts are delayed too... Never mind, as long as I can make fewer mistakes, that's enough for now.
