Recently, everyone has been arguing again about L2: TPS, transaction fees, ecosystem subsidies— which one is more attractive… It’s making me both want to laugh and feel a bit tired. To put it simply, focus on one main thread first: what does your transaction really “count” based on?
Data availability is like whether you backed up your chat history—if you didn’t back it up, and someone says “I sent it,” you can only stare blankly; ordering is like queuing for bubble tea—are there many people cutting in line, and is the staff biased; finality is whether the money can still be “retracted” after it arrives—don’t find out later that it was just a text notification. The terms sound intimidating, but they’re really just asking: is the information there, is the order fair, and is the result stable? Anyway, I think for now, don’t rush to get carried away by numbers when looking at project promotions. First, focus on this thread, take notes, and review slowly.
