Lately, I've been noticing that on-chain data always seems to "pause" for a moment. Sometimes it's not the blockchain itself being slow, but the layer of data you're using struggling to keep up... Indexers/Subgraphs need to scan through blocks before feeding data to the frontend. When there's a reorganization or node glitch, it causes delays; plus, with RPC rate limiting, once overwhelmed, requests start queuing or get dropped, making the page look like it's offline, but really it's just the faucet being turned off.
So who should I blame? Blame myself for relying too much on free public RPCs.
Honestly, data ≠ the truth; at best, it's the "truth of delay."
In the past couple of days, the group has been talking about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and various rumors about "losing the peg." When I get anxious, I refresh even more frequently... which just gets me rate-limited. Forget it, I’d rather be conservative—spread out my holdings, keep some spare funds, and reduce my screen time. Better to preserve capital first.
