Lately, I keep feeling like the blockchain data is "lagging," but it's really not your internet connection... I’ve done some troubleshooting on my end: many front-end interfaces are actually querying indexers/Subgraphs first, and if the indexing hasn't caught up with the blocks, or if the nodes are acting up, you'll see balances/positions initially blank and then suddenly appear with some delay; plus, RPC rate limiting means if you click too often, you'll get a 429 error, and the page seems frozen for a few seconds—basically, it's like the water supply has been cut off behind the scenes. Especially now, when everyone is comparing RWA or even US bond yields to on-chain yield products, my first reaction isn't that the yields are attractive, but rather to be cautious about data standards—don't mix up delays with APY calculations, or you'll be fooling yourself. (Whenever I see the spinning circle, I suspect I’ve been targeted again by some witch hunt or risk control.) Anyway, now I first switch to a different RPC before interacting, wait until the subgraph is mostly synchronized, then click, to avoid wasting gas and ruining my mood.
