I later set a rule for myself: don’t rush to believe when you see “all on-chain data displayed / the browser is up,” even if I’m also watching that little green checkmark. Any link in the node, RPC, or indexer chain can get stuck, and what you see is just “the delayed truth.” Others may have already confirmed everything while you’re still refreshing... Especially now, with L2s arguing every day about TPS, fees, and subsidies, the interface feels silky smooth as if everything is fast, but the underlying data sources can easily mess with your mindset. Anyway, before cross-chain transfers, I’ll wait a bit longer and switch between a couple of RPCs to double-check — I don’t gamble on those few minutes.
