Lately, I've been bombarded again with words like "data availability, ordering, finality," which sound very mysterious. In fact, I only focus on one main line: whether your transaction can ultimately be seen by everyone, included in blocks in the order you expect, and not overturned after two hours. To put it simply, if any one of these three aspects is vague, the experience becomes "I clearly clicked, so why is it still stuck / why is the order strange / why did it rollback again."
Anyway, right now, the debate over staking and shared security benefits stacking is quite intense. I don't really want to participate in the "nested" game anymore. The returns look attractive, but if the finality of the underlying layer and whether the data can be obtained are both questionable, I’d rather stay bored and continue dollar-cost averaging + rebalancing, slowly enduring.
