Today, I looked at on-chain data again and saw that kind of "pause" gap, almost thinking another chain had crashed.
Later, I realized it's probably not the chain's problem, but the layer we look at: the indexer needs to process a bunch of transactions before presenting them to you, and the Subgraph still needs to synchronize, rebuild, and a delay of a few minutes is normal.
Not to mention RPC rate limiting, free nodes get overwhelmed and start to go dead, refresh ten times and it only responds once—basically, it's being throttled.
Recently, there's been a heated debate in the group about privacy coins and mixing, whether it crosses compliance red lines.
But my kind of data anxiety only cares about one thing: when everyone suddenly starts querying the same type of addresses or on-chain trajectories, the data service gets overwhelmed, and the "fund flow" you see becomes even more like an illusion.
Anyway, I now keep a cautious eye when looking at charts—don't jump to conclusions about large fund outflows just because of delays.
That's all for now.
