These days, watching on-chain liquidations, I feel like many people still treat "oracle prices" as air... Actually, when the feed price is delayed, the market has already recovered, but your position is still being calculated at the old price, especially when leverage is high, it's very easy to be killed by "expired reality." To put it simply, it's not that you see the wrong direction, but that you are caught by a time lag.
Now Layer2s are arguing about TPS/fees/subsidies, but for me, what I care more about is: after you migrate, whether the frequency of price updates, delays caused by cross-chain/ordering have changed, and whether liquidation triggers are more "smooth." What I don't regret is paying more attention to the rhythm of oracle updates and the source of feed prices in extreme cases before opening a position. Even if I earn less, at least I can sleep well. Anyway, I now prefer to keep leverage lower and not gamble on the system just being smooth for those few seconds.
