Lately I've been looking into IBC / message passing / bridges again, and the more I look, the more I feel that "cross-chain" essentially means breaking trust into a bunch of small parts: the consensus of the chain itself, light clients / verification methods, relayers (the runners), and then bridge contracts / multi-signature setups... If any link is lazy to verify, it could ultimately result in "I thought the transfer was completed." Airdrop season isn't about everyone doing tasks, right? The anti-scam + points system makes it feel like going to work, and I’d rather not connect a bunch of bridges recklessly for a few points—I'd rather take it slow. Anyway, my usual stance is still that phrase: don’t rush, wait for confirmation. Before you cross a chain, think carefully about who you’re actually trusting.
