Recently, everyone has been arguing about who has higher TPS, lower transaction fees, and more subsidies in L2.

I instead focus on whether the chain is starting to get congested again…
Because when congestion happens, the first to suffer is not "slower transaction times," but the oracle price feed lagging behind.
You think your position is still safe, but in reality, the price has already moved, the liquidation line has been touched early, and by the time you see the update, your position might be directly liquidated, with no chance to add margin.

My current approach is pretty simple: before opening leverage, check the oracle update frequency and whether the price feed source is reliable.
When I encounter network lag, I reduce my position or simply avoid high leverage.
Honestly, liquidation isn’t about your miscalculation; it’s the time lag that buries you…
Anyway, I’d rather earn a little less than get "delayed" out of education.
