These days, I keep experiencing "lag" when checking on-chain data.


At first, I thought my internet was bad, but upon reflection, I remembered:
Many front-end interfaces don't directly read from the chain; they use indexers/Subgraphs, which are "organize the data first and then feed it to you" methods.
Once they fall behind in synchronization, you'll see your page not updating, then suddenly jump after a while.
Plus, with RPC rate limiting, in plain terms, there are too many people, so it has to queue.
When you make too many requests, it gets throttled, and it feels like the ECG suddenly drops frames.

Airdrop season is also quite obvious.
Task platforms counteract sybil attacks and use point systems, pushing people to clock in like at work.
As traffic surges, public RPCs are more prone to glitches...
I'm most afraid not of losses, but of losing control:
Even with a plan, delays in information cause me to click and chase randomly, eventually turning into emotional trading.
For now, I’ll just be content with looking a little less today, so I don’t get influenced by the "lag" and lose rhythm.
