Recently, I saw someone say "It's all written on the chain, why don't you believe it," and I couldn't help but laugh... When you click on that block explorer/wallet, there are actually several layers in between: node synchronization, RPC forwarding, index services, and then assembling the data into a format you can understand. If any link in that chain stalls, the "latest" you see might be several minutes old, and even the same transaction can appear in different orders in different places. To put it simply, the blockchain itself isn't lying; it's you thinking you're connecting directly to the main chain that’s the illusion.
Modularization and the DA layer—developers are indeed quite excited about this wave of development, but for ordinary users, it looks more like: why is there another layer to trust... Anyway, I’d rather be a bit slower than chasing after it, and when I see delays, I just take it as a reminder not to get too emotional.
Forget it, I won’t talk about it now. I’m going to sleep. Missing out is fine; no need to make up for it.
