Someone asked me: You monitor the chain every day, how come you still "miss" anomalies? To put it simply, the "on-chain data" you see is separated by several layers—nodes, RPC, indexers—and a delay can occur at any layer. When the RPC is busy, requests get queued or lost; indexers need to wait for confirmations and may re-scan, so what looks stable on the page might actually have a delay of minutes. Not to mention that different service providers may return different block heights.



So now, when I encounter large transfers or sudden imbalances in pools, I check two RPCs simultaneously, and if necessary, directly use a block explorer to look up the raw transaction hash. I’d rather confirm a bit slower than be misled by the false impression of "update completed." Recently, with social mining and fan token schemes—"attention is mining"—it’s lively indeed, but if the on-chain display of activity is inherently delayed... Anyway, I’ll just press the risk button and wait a beat longer.
