Lately I've been looking at cross-chain bridges again, and the more I look, the more I feel that "waiting for confirmation" is actually just noise reduction for myself, not a way to show respect to the chain. Multi-signature seems stable, but honestly, it's just shifting trust from the code to a few people; oracles are the same, a price feed shake causes the bridge to go haywire. Not long ago, I really considered uninstalling or quitting a certain cross-chain plugin directly, too many opaque "completed" signals made me uneasy... In the end, I held back and switched to small transactions, moving a bit slower, waiting for multiple confirmations if possible, since I don't need to rush those few minutes. By the way, the fuss over NFT royalties also seems similar: liquidity needs to be fast, creators need stability, but who bears the tail risk of "bridge breaking" in the end? Right now, I prefer earning a bit less rather than tuning the risk frequency to be too jarring.
