Tonight, I checked the on-chain data again and it froze for a moment. I can't help but complain: many people think "the blockchain data is all real-time," but actually what you're seeing is mostly the data provided by indexers/Subgraphs. When the backend is overwhelmed, it will be a bit slow. Plus, with RPC rate limiting, which is like "please queue up first," when requests increase, packets get dropped, retries happen, and delays stack up, causing the charts to glitch and wallet balances to update a few seconds late.



To put it simply, it's not that the chain suddenly broke; it's the underlying infrastructure handling the traffic that can't keep up and causes a "hiccup." Recently, with Meme + celebrity hype cycles, the attention shifts have become more obvious. Newcomers get anxious just looking at the data. The real danger is thinking you've seen it in real-time, but actually, you're catching the last baton in the delay... Veteran players aren't necessarily smarter; they've just learned to be cautious from these "hiccups" — confirming more slowly, being less impulsive. That's how it is for now.
