Recently, while working on the ecosystem map, I was educated once again by "on-chain data": you think you're watching real-time data, but you're actually just looking at the perspective provided by a certain node/RPC. When RPCs are busy, they queue and drop packets; indexers also experience delays in rebuilding, and sometimes the same transaction shows different times on different services by several minutes... So sometimes it's not that the "chain data is wrong," but that the path you're viewing is a bit congested.



Seeing the criticism of the staking and shared security setup as a "nested doll," I became more cautious: while the compounded returns look attractive, the longer your reliance on the infrastructure, the greater the chance that any link will be late or miss a report. To put it simply, I now prefer to view the results probabilistically: look at more than one data source, and avoid over-leveraging based on initial emotional reactions. That's the approach for now.
