Recently, I've been seeing a bunch of proposals arguing about "data availability / ordering / finality." The newcomers are scared by the terminology, but basically it's one main idea: do you believe this transaction actually happened, can others verify it, and are you being front-run?


Data availability is about "whether the ledger details are publicly available for you and me to verify," ordering is "who said what first and who said what later," and finality is "can this be reversed or overturned."
This is similar to the recent meme and celebrity hype: when attention shifts, everyone only focuses on the price and ignores the rules. In the end, it's mostly about "not understanding who you are trusting." My partner even joked that I look like I'm judging a court case when I review DAO votes... I said, it’s necessary to review, and the more elaborate the proposal language, the more you should ask: who takes the blame if something goes wrong, who keeps the data safe, and who controls the ordering. That's all for now.
