Recently, I've been checking the on-chain art floor prices, and the page keeps "freezing" every now and then. At first, I thought my internet was bad. Later, I realized it's probably the indexer/Subgraph being slow: on-chain data isn't instantly available just by clicking; someone has to organize a bunch of transaction events into a searchable format. Plus, RPC still has rate limiting, especially when there's a lot of traffic, like waiting in line to get a number. Basically—just waiting.
In the past couple of days, incidents like cross-chain bridge thefts and oracle errors have happened, making everyone prefer to "wait for confirmation," even if it means being slower, so they don't get misled by fake data. I'm also pretty chill now: waiting for the pullback, waiting for the indexer to catch up, waiting until I understand things clearly before acting. For small-scale market making, there's no need to rush—the liquidity isn't there in that one second. Just going with the flow for now.
