Recently, everyone has been arguing about whether Layer 2 has higher TPS, lower fees, and more subsidies, while at the same time using "on-chain data" as a judge... I find it a bit funny. Honestly, what you see as "on-chain" is often a perspective pieced together by nodes/RPCs/indexers, which can also lag, drop, or reorganize, and even the same transfer can show different times on different frontends. Blockchains themselves don't like being late; it's the middle services that tend to be delayed. Anyway, when I see abnormal fluctuations now, I don't get excited first; I take a screenshot (old habit), then switch RPCs or browsers to compare, and many "ghost stories" just disappear.
