Today, on-chain data really broke my mental state again: prices and TVL are skyrocketing rapidly, but the Subgraph/indexer side is "lagging," sometimes saying no transactions, then suddenly catching up with a big batch... Basically, it's not that the chain has stopped, but someone is copying the work behind the scenes: first running nodes/RPC to pull back the blocks, then indexing, then generating query results. And yet, RPC is rate-limited, so if you request too much, you get queued or throttled, making it feel like network lag, and the more anxious people get, the more they FOMO. They curse the "broken protocol" but still keep clicking refresh to mine more, whatever.
By the way, lately there have been a lot of phishing links, and hardware wallets are out of stock, which is even more annoying. Don’t think I’m in a rush—before signing, I still pause for two seconds to check the domain... Data delays are okay, but if assets are gone, there’s no rollback.
