I just submitted a task on the chain again, and before the gas could even respond, it got stuck... I’m watching that “pending” status on my wallet like I’m waiting for a delivery. Honestly, during congestion, your transaction is like waiting in line at the cafeteria: first it gets thrown into the mempool, miners/validators pick and pack, and whoever offers a “sweeter” deal (higher fee / better MEV extraction) is more likely to jump the queue. As a small retail investor, I can only wait patiently.

What’s more annoying is that you think it’s just slow, but it might actually be repeatedly bumped, reordered, or even ultimately fail, costing you some learning fees. Recently, everyone’s been complaining about unfair ordering, and it’s not without reason—once MEV comes into play, it feels like we’ve become the background scenery… I now just honestly prefer: during congestion, either do the task later or directly accelerate/replace, otherwise, having pending for a whole day ruins your mood and your tax report. Let’s leave it at that for now, waiting for it to be included in a block.
