Recently, a bunch of new L1/L2 projects are launching incentives to boost TVL, and in the group, old-timers are both rushing and complaining, "Mining and selling..."
To be honest, don’t be scared by those terms; I’m just focusing on one main line: how exactly is your transaction being "queued—settled—confirmed."
Data availability is like a ledger, whether they show it to you or not; the order is determined by who has the authority to cut in line or push you back, and the finality is whether this can be reversed in a few minutes.
Among these three, I fear the most the combination of "invisible + can cut in line + not confirmed," which stacks up. It looks smooth on the surface, but if something goes wrong, you won’t find anyone to blame during the review.
Anyway, no matter how attractive the incentives are, I’ll first look at this line.
As for whether you’re willing to take a gamble for that small subsidy... you know yourselves.
