Lying in bed at night, I was checking on-chain data. I originally wanted to look up the recent whale activity for a certain protocol, but the subgraph froze me right halfway through—after reading part of it, it looped back and then disappeared. Later, I switched to several public RPC nodes and only then managed to get it running. To put it plainly, many projects’ indexer backends aren’t optimized that well, and as RPC rate limits get stricter, looking up data during peak hours is basically a gamble. Recently, the whole “re-staking” topic has been getting a lot of heat—everyone says it’s a matryoshka doll. Whether the stacked and compounded rewards are safe or not ultimately also depends on how stable the underlying data sources are. Anyway, I’m the kind of slow-paced person—I’d rather wait until the nodes stop stalling before looking, than chase after a bunch of question marks. That’s it for now. Having stable data matters more than anything.
