In the past few days, after reviewing my trades, I realized that the "on-chain data" I see can also be delayed… It's not my eyes playing tricks on me; the path through nodes/RPCs/indices is just too long. Many of the wallets and dashboards you use actually first query RPCs, then wait for the indexers to organize the events. Even a small delay in between can create the illusion of "I just saw it enter the pool, why hasn't the yield rate changed yet?" To put it simply, on-chain data is real-time, but your screen isn't necessarily real-time. Developers discussing modular and DA layer architectures are excited, but ordinary users get even more confused: the more layers there are, the easier it is for delays and desynchronization to be blamed and shifted around. In the future, before I rebalance, I will check two more sources—better to be a little slow than to be misled by "pseudo-real-time."
