Lately, I've been feeling a bit off about on-chain data: for the same transaction, I see it first in browser A, but it takes a long time for it to show up on B. Later, I realized it's not surprising; node synchronization can be slow, RPC sometimes acts up, and the index service needs to "scan once and then organize." You think you're seeing real-time data, but it might actually be a replay delivered to you by someone else... So now, when I see emotional posts about "the chain suddenly exploding / suddenly zeroing out," I wait a bit before making a judgment.



By the way, thinking about the collapse points of chain games, it’s basically information and funds going haywire together: when inflation kicks in, studios run faster than anyone, and when token prices slide, it still looks lively on-chain, but they've already started to withdraw.

What I fear most isn't slowness, but chaos — you can wait through slowness, but if it's chaos, you can't even tell if what you're seeing is the truth, a delay, or missing data. Better to open an umbrella first; anyway, it’s not embarrassing.
