I just saw someone in the group ask again, “I clearly clicked submit—why does it keep spinning?”—most likely, your transaction is just queued in the mempool… Your transaction is like getting on the subway during rush hour: first it’s thrown into the waiting hall, and miners/validators basically decide who boards first based on how much fee you paid, and whether there’s a faster path (sometimes someone else cuts in line and jumps ahead—annoying, but real). When the network is congested, it’s even more obvious: either it takes a long time to be confirmed, or it just gets stuck until it expires / gets replaced. In any case, don’t stare at the page—your mind will explode.
The twist is that recently everyone’s been chatting about modularity, and even the developer community is getting excited about the DA layer, but users are still completely clueless: to put it simply, what you’re feeling is still “can my transaction be confirmed faster?”
My old habit is: no rush—just wait for confirmation… Also, send a cat picture to calm everyone down (no picture for now, so just this).
