Back to collectionA-Zhen Turns Confirmation Delays into a Player-Facing Question
The studio was quiet over the weekend, but A-Zhen was still watching technical feedback after the Iron Pigeons mint. A-Zhen posted an internal complaint about slow on-chain confirmations, then stopped short of treating every wait as the same failure. The small disagreement turned an internal complaint into a concrete interface issue.

The studio was quiet over the weekend, but A-Zhen was still watching technical feedback after the Iron Pigeons mint. As an early engineer working on the chain side, she knew that what players called a stuck transaction might reflect either the page or a wait for on-chain confirmation.
A-Zhen posted an internal complaint about slow on-chain confirmations, then stopped short of treating every wait as the same failure. A colleague pointed out that players would not first identify where the problem lay; they would keep pressing the button. She recast her post as questions to check: how should the page explain the wait, and when should the team investigate further?
The small disagreement turned an internal complaint into a concrete interface issue. A-Zhen planned to compare the existing message with player feedback alongside the person responsible for the page, then settle on wording. Confirmation delays remained, but the team had begun to address the part of the wait players were most likely to misunderstand.
