Lately, talking about Layer 2, people are arguing over TPS, fees, and ecosystem subsidies. Honestly, I’m almost tired of it… There are so many terms it’s like a menu. Actually, just focus on one main thread: Does your transaction’s “story” have a place to be stored, who queues up, and is it finally considered a done deal?

Data availability = Does the ledger keep a record, so you don’t end up finding only a “trust me” statement when reconciling; Ordering = Who issues the ticket at the gate, and queue-jumping (like being squeezed in) comes from here; Finality = Once the gate closes, is it locked in, or can it still be reversed? As an LP, I care more about this: You think you’re swimming in the same pool, but the pipes, administrators, and gate rules at the bottom are all different. Low fees are great, but don’t just focus on the ticket price; whether the vehicle can arrive on time is even more critical. Anyway, when I evaluate a project now, I first ask these three questions before deciding whether to adjust my position or sleep on it.
