These days, everyone is anxiously watching "on-chain data," but I'm actually more worried about the fact that what you see on the chain might already be delayed. Slow node synchronization, congestion among RPC service providers, and indexers still catching up on historical records—what you see as "just happened" might actually be results from minutes or even longer ago... To put it simply, the on-chain data is objective, but the layer you see may not be real-time.

My mom just asked me: Isn't everything on the chain? How can it still be lagging? I told her it's like watching surveillance—there also needs to be internet and servers processing it.

Recently, the incentives and points systems on testnets have become more obvious. Everyone is flocking to check addresses and speculate whether the mainnet will issue tokens. Actually, many of the "why didn't it rise / why isn't there a record" feelings might just be because your RPC or indexer isn't keeping up. Anyway, I prefer to watch more slowly, compare several sources, and not make reckless moves because of delays. That's all for now.
