Recently, everyone has been arguing about which L2 has higher TPS and lower fees, and who offers bigger subsidies. I actually care more about that "slowness" in cross-chain bridges. In fact, bridges are not magic portals; multi-signature, oracles, and various "confirmations" are just ways to spread out the risk and show it to you clearly. To put it simply, multi-signature involves people, and oracles are the mouths feeding data; any deviation on either side could send assets into a black hole. Anyway, before I cross the bridge myself, I always take a closer look: whether the signing authority is decentralized or not, if there's a single point of failure in the oracle, whether the confirmation count is considered slow by you... Being a bit slow is not shameful; what’s shameful is relying on luck.
