Recently, I saw a bunch of people discussing data availability, ordering, finality, and the more terms pile up, the more it sounds like an exam... I personally focus on one main thread: first ask "Who can see the data and can it be used for re-computation," then look at "Who is in line, is there any cutting in line," and finally consider "How long it takes for this to be considered finalized." Once the sequence is clarified, many debates become less mysterious.
By the way, it reminds me of the NFT royalty war, which is essentially about "who sets the rules and whether enforcement is reliable," and when liquidity tightens, people become even more sensitive.
I’m not really messing around on my end, my positions are still relatively quiet, and I want to see how the system fulfills its promises first.
