Don't laugh, I was arguing with someone last night that "on-chain data is the most authentic," and today I got proven wrong myself... I see the same transaction in three different places, with time differences of several minutes, and even the statuses are different. To put it simply, what you see as "on-chain" is often a picture pieced together by nodes/RPC/indexers: RPCs sometimes lag, nodes can't keep up, indexers are still scanning blocks, and the front end just gives you a "confirmed/unconfirmed" half-baked conclusion.

Then everyone is checking staking unlocks, token unlock calendars, anxious about selling pressure, I’m anxious too, but what I’m more worried about now is: you think the unlocks are crashing the market, but actually it’s just that the index you’re looking at is two steps behind... I can’t change my stubborn attitude, but anyway, now I make sure to cross-check multiple sources, take it slow before entering, and don’t get fooled by the “late on-chain” FOMO.
