Just got another new L2 incentive, and in the group, people are both pushing TVL and complaining about "mining, selling," and I'm a bit overwhelmed... The terminology, in the end, boils down to one main line: after you hand over your money and status, who keeps the books, who can cut in line, and how long it takes to really get the gains.

Data availability, simply put, is whether "the ledger is publicly accessible and whether old records can be reviewed if something goes wrong"; ordering is "who goes first, who goes later, and whether someone can block your way"; finality is "whether this transaction is truly settled." Incentive periods look lively, but if these three issues aren't clear, the excitement can easily turn into everyone pulling out when the trend shifts. Anyway, I prefer to open my umbrella first; taking it slow is fine.
