Someone asked why on-chain data always seems to "pause for a moment," and honestly, it's not necessarily because your internet is bad. Indexers/Subgraphs need to first process the blocks before they can present the data to you; during this process, reorganization, rollbacks, or node glitches can cause pauses. Plus, with RPC rate limiting, when free ports get crowded, they start to stall: requests queue up, time out, or sometimes return empty results, making you think there's an "on-chain anomaly." Recently, everyone has been criticizing validators for earning too much and MEV for unfair ordering, and I think there's a consensus: upstream wants to earn more, so downstream has to wait longer, which naturally makes retail users feel like they're being choked. Anyway, whenever I see data jump suddenly, my first reaction isn't opportunity—it's "don't rush to press the button." For now, I'll switch my commonly used RPCs to self-hosted or paid ones and test for a couple of days.
