Lately I keep seeing words like "data availability, ordering, finality," and it feels like they scare people away... I personally focus on one main thread: at the moment you place an order, who are you competing with for position, how long it takes for the result to be valid, and whether you can追得回 if something goes wrong. Basically, only with ordering is there an影线, without finality you're forever in the tension of "possible rollback," and even stop-loss OCD can be pushed into a gambler.
The heated debate over NFT royalties also seems similar: creators want certain income, secondary markets want liquidity and fewer frictions, which is essentially about "who sets the rules, how they are enforced, and whether they can be reversed." There are many tutorials, but I actually prefer those that draw a timeline from the transaction being initiated to confirmation—no metaphysics, just something that can be used for review. Anyway, I’ll stick with this for now, and stop being led around by terminology.
