I almost scared myself to death just now... I accidentally missed two letters when copying the address, and the wallet kept spinning for a long time. I thought the chain had swallowed my money. Later, I calmed down and realized: the "on-chain status" I saw was actually the answer from the RPC/node I connected to. If it’s lagging, caching, or the indexer hasn't caught up, you'll think "Why hasn't it arrived yet?" or "Is it a failure?" Basically, it's not that the chain is slow, but that the window you're viewing is delayed.
Recently, there are always people comparing RWA, or the yield on US bonds, with on-chain yield products. I think it's better not to rush into comparing yields first, but to compare information delay: the dashboard data, yield displays, or even balance changes are all fed by a bunch of indexes and nodes. If one is a beat slower, you'll panic. Anyway, when I encounter anomalies now, I check two more entry points: switch to a different RPC, or open the browser and verify the transaction hash. Don’t let "seeing" influence your emotions. That’s all for now.
