Lately, I keep feeling like the on-chain data is "lagging," but it's not my internet connection; often it's the indexer catching up with blocks. Subgraph, which first captures on-chain events and then stores them for querying, can fall behind by hundreds or thousands of blocks when new contracts or events explode in volume, making the data you see seem a bit slow. What's more annoying is RPC rate limiting: if requests are made too quickly, you get a 429 error, and the front end just spins, making you think the project has gone offline... Basically, the data isn't "real-time," it's "as real-time as possible." Recently, hardware wallets have been out of stock, and phishing links are everywhere. People are rushing to check data while clicking on random links, which is really dangerous. I now prefer to be a bit slower, switch to several trusted nodes or official portals, rather than save a few seconds. I'm off to work.
