Just as I ran the strategy discovery, the data got stuck again for a moment. It turned out that the subgraph indexer hadn’t caught up to the latest blocks, and the RPC side is also tightly rate-limited. Honestly, this kind of “sticking for a moment” is really annoying—especially when volatility is fast-moving. When the data you’re feeding is half a beat late, the strategy is basically just running blind.

Recently I’ve been noticing everyone discussing ETF fund flows and U.S. stock risk appetite, and it feels like the public narrative is trying to pin every rise and fall entirely on that. In fact, many on-chain small details—like indexer latency and changes to contract upgrade permissions—are more direct signals.

After I lowered my expectations, it felt easier instead: I don’t count on every piece of data being real time, and I don’t expect every protocol to be fully safe. Anyway, I’ll just run my own scripts and watch the pitfalls I can actually see. For now, that’s it.
