Recently, people have been discussing data availability, ordering, finality, and a bunch of other terms. Basically, if you follow one thread: do you believe or not that "this transaction is seen by everyone, queued as expected, and ultimately not overturned"? Data availability is like whether the ledger is publicly accessible for you to check; ordering is about who jumps the queue or gets squeezed in the middle; finality is more straightforward—does it count once finalized?

I also watched the NFT royalty mudslinging match for a while. To be honest, many of the conflicts aren’t about “supporting creators,” but rather, when liquidity tightens, everyone starts focusing on rule loopholes and enforcement costs.
What I fear most isn’t slowness, but chaos: you can wait if it’s slow, but if it’s chaotic—today you say it’s valid, tomorrow someone can reorder it—that’s when the mindset collapses.
Anyway, when I evaluate a project, I first ask: who is backing it when things go wrong? If there’s controversy over data and ordering, can users verify it themselves? All the other tricks come second.
