Is the “real-time on-chain data” you’re seeing really real-time? I used to believe it pretty blindly too, and I still got slapped in the face many times… to put it simply, what you’re seeing is the “retelling” provided by the node/RPC/indexer—they’ve got queues, caches, synchronization delays, and sometimes they even switch you over to lagging nodes. On your side it looks like there’s no trade and no transfer, but on-chain it has already happened—it’s just that your window hasn’t updated yet. Lately, everyone’s been buzzing about modularization and the DA layer, and developers are absolutely thrilled. As a user like me, I’m just totally lost: where is the data, and who feeds it to me? Anyway, I’ve gotten into the habit of checking a few more sources now—don’t take a single delay as the truth of the world. Wait a bit, then draw the line… although I often draw it wrong too.
