Just took a look at the mempool—gas has spiked again 😑. I clearly clicked confirm in my wallet, yet the transaction is still stuck in the queue, like waiting for a nucleic acid test. Last time too—I watched helplessly as the transaction got pushed out. I had to double the gas just to get it through. It really hurts my wallet.

Lately, compliance over there has gotten stricter, and withdrawal channels keep getting stuck out of the blue. I don’t even dare to move my on-chain assets around. I looked around and took care of whatever needed taking care of—what’s left can just lie there for now. Anyway, I’m not in a rush to run. If I run, I can’t outrun the robots.

When I was breaking down the protocol, the logic always seemed pretty solid, but the moment we hit traffic, nothing—no matter what “flywheel”—can really get going. People say it might collapse, but in my hands I still added a bit. So frustrating. Forget it—if I can’t make sense of it, I’ll leave it alone for now and wait for confirmation before moving.
