Today I was looking at a few fragmented small collectibles on the chain, and the page kept "freezing for a moment," so I thought my internet was acting up again... Later I realized it's probably not the chain itself being slow, but the data layer: the indexer/subgraph hasn't synchronized to the latest blocks, or RPC is being rate-limited, and when you refresh, it queues or slows down, making the frontend feel like it's frozen for half a second. Basically, on-chain data isn't "available on demand," there's a bunch of middlemen in between. My roommate also complained, "Your broken images haven't loaded in half a day, are you looking at air again?" I could only shrug. Recently, there's been talk about rate cut expectations, the dollar index, and risk assets acting up together... When the market gets excited, everyone checks data simultaneously, and the lag becomes even more obvious. Anyway, I now prefer to confirm more slowly rather than blindly adding positions, so that's how it is for now.
