Lately, I've been seeing everyone arguing, "Why isn't my on-chain data showing up clearly?" I actually understand quite well: what you see as on-chain is often the "version" provided by RPC nodes + indexers. If a node is a bit slow to sync, RPC is under heavy load, or the indexer is re-queuing calculations, you'll feel like transactions are stuck, and data seems to go back in time... Anyway, it's not your eyes playing tricks on you.
What I fear most isn't losing money, but the chaos of permissions flying around combined with information delays: you think a proposal has been executed/revoked, but your wallet still shows the old state, and a slight mistake can easily happen. Recently, there's been complaints about validator income and unfair MEV ordering. Honestly, the sorting and display are beyond your control; retail investors see it more as being "arranged." Now I prefer to compare two different RPCs/browser views for important operations, even if it means confirming a little slower. That's all for now.
