To be honest, many people think on-chain data is “real-time,” like it’s virtually perfectly synchronized—down to the second. But do you know the node you’re connecting to might be someone else’s cache, that the RPC could be rate-limited, or that the indexer could be delayed by 10 minutes? Anyway, I’ve seen some market discussion forums where people keep posting extreme funding rate takes—arguing whether it will reverse or keep squeezing—only to check the timestamps and realize the data is about half a round slower than what’s on-chain. Isn’t that just using delayed information to bet on “instant” market moves? ⚡️



If you can keep only one habit: **before trusting anything, first check the last-updated timestamp of every on-chain data point—don’t trust the frontend.**
