Actually, everyone understands that the blockchain is open to the public, but what you see on your phone as "on-chain" is often just someone else's paraphrasing... I have a strict address verification obsession, always checking three times before transferring, so I’m not surprised that recently I saw people complaining that on-chain data tools/tag systems are lagging or even misleading.
Nodes, RPC, and indexing—these things are basically like: when you ask for directions, you first need to find someone who can respond (RPC), and behind that, the node it connects to needs to be synchronized and stable; plus, a lot of data is actually pre-organized by indexers for you, and if the organization is slow, it’s late; if it’s wrong, you get led astray. Especially with new contracts/new tags, I ignore them for the first few minutes as if they don’t exist... Anyway, I personally: before key operations, switch between two or three RPCs to check the same transaction, then look up tx/hash in the browser to verify, and I’d rather spend two extra minutes on authorization. The on-chain data hasn’t changed; what changes is the window you’re looking through.
