I just saw a guy showing off TPS on Layer 2, saying his own chain is as fast as lightning. I clicked in and looked—his transaction slippage was insanely high, and the depth was paper-thin. Hilarious. What good is speed alone? When it’s time to go for real, if there isn’t enough liquidity, no matter how fast you run, it’s just an empty shell.

Speaking of this, it reminds me—I also screwed up a couple of days ago. I wanted to take an arbitrage trade, thought the price was fine, so I went all-in without thinking. In the end, slippage ate up 3% of my profit. After reviewing it, it still came down to my order timing—the order was too big, and at that moment the depth had just been pulled away. In plain terms, I just didn’t pay attention to the timing. Now I’ve learned: first check the liquidity distribution, then enter in batches. Don’t always assume you can go all the way in one shot.

Anyway, I’ve seen too many pointless online flame wars—wouldn’t it be better to keep an eye on the data in your own wallet? What do you think?
