Someone has been using "on-chain data speaks" to pressure me lately... but what you see on-chain could also be "delayed on-chain." To put it simply, the nodes, RPCs, and indexers you use are just the middle layers. If there's a lag, reorganization, or indexing hasn't kept up, your dashboard is still dancing in the old blocks. Especially during market surges, others have already completed their trades, and you're still watching the "just happened" large transfers.

The modular, DA layer approach is currently exciting developers, while users are often confused: the more layers there are, the longer the information chain, and delays and discrepancies in data are easier to overlook. Anyway, right now I prefer to verify anomalies by cross-checking two sources, even if it’s a bit slower, rather than being misled by fake real-time data. For now, I’ll go re-test the latency of my commonly used RPCs before I sleep.
