These past few days, looking at "on-chain data" has made me a bit anxious... Clearly, I want to rely on it to suppress impulsiveness, but I realize what you see might also be delayed. Slow node synchronization, RPC hiccups, the indexer not catching up—you think "funds haven't moved" or "whales haven't sold," then you get itchy and open a position, basically racing against the delay.

Just now, I encountered this: the same swap, still showing pending on A's RPC, but when I switched to another, it was already confirmed, with a difference of two or three block numbers. I still foolishly stared at the candlestick chart to comfort myself. And forget about Layer 2 arguing over TPS, fees, or subsidies—data looks pretty good, but the actual experience... sometimes, it’s just that your browser takes forever to refresh.

My current quick fix is: before any important action, check at least two RPCs + the raw block height. Better to be 30 seconds slow than to leverage because "I think nothing happened on-chain." The detox period means admitting that I can easily be fooled by false certainty. That’s all for now.
