These days, everyone is staring at "on-chain data" and arguing as if they’re fighting for the microphone at a governance meeting. Actually, what you see on-chain might also be delayed: nodes syncing slowly, RPCs getting overwhelmed and disconnecting, index services still catching up… You think you're watching real-time, but you might actually be watching a "rebroadcast." Especially during the recent incentivization wave on testnets, when the leaderboard goes haywire, some people start speculating whether the mainnet will issue tokens. It’s hilarious. When information sources are out of sync, emotions are confirmed before the blocks are.

What I fear most isn’t slowness, but chaos — at least when it’s slow, everyone is slow together; chaos means you’re fast, I’m slow, and others are wrong, and in the end, you can’t even make sense of the review over drinks. Anyway, when I encounter anomalies now, I first switch RPCs or browsers to check, don’t get scared right away. On-chain also has “delayed justice.” That’s all for now.
