Recently, I've been noticing that on-chain transaction data often seems to "pause" or "freeze" for a moment. Actually, most of the time it's not your network connection; it's the indexer/subgraph tracking blocks, or RPCs being rate-limited. When you look at the front end, it might seem like no transactions are happening, but after a couple of seconds, a bunch of data suddenly appears. On the order book side, I often quickly cancel and re-submit orders, only to realize I was tricked by latency... In other words, the data pipeline is too long: node → indexer → cache → your screen. Any hiccup in the middle can cause delays. Recently, during the cross-chain bridge hack and oracle errors, everyone defaulted to "waiting for confirmation," but it's really the same mindset: prefer to be slow rather than get misled by fake data. Next time, I might check multiple RPCs or different subgraphs before acting. How do you usually determine whether it's just latency or if the on-chain data has genuinely changed?
