Lately, I keep hearing people say "It's all written on the chain," but honestly, what you're seeing as "on-chain" is actually relayed by nodes/RPCs/indexers, and sometimes it can be delayed. When RPCs are overwhelmed, they queue and rate-limit; nodes that haven't caught up with the height may fall behind temporarily; indexers are more like translating blocks into searchable databases, and reorganizing them requires rolling back and rebuilding... The balances and transaction records you see are delayed by a few minutes or even show incorrect for a while, and it's not necessarily your eyes playing tricks.

Developers are very excited about modularization and the DA layer, but it's normal for users to be confused: after the chain is split into several layers, "whose data do I trust" becomes even more complicated. Recently, there's also a lot of information noise. My noise reduction strategy is simple: before key operations, at least check with two independent RPCs/browser cross-referencing; trust the final on-chain confirmation of a transaction, don't just rely on one frontend. For now, that's it. I'd rather be a bit slower during bad weather for bridges.
