Don't laugh, I was thinking about cross-chain last night, but the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt: this time IBC/message passing, who should I really trust... On the surface, it's "just send a packet and it's done," but in reality, you have to trust the consensus of both chains, avoid bugs in the light client verification, prevent relayers (transporters) from going offline or maliciously acting, and also trust that the application layer doesn't have bugs. Bridges are even more complicated, adding multi-signature/multisig custody/oracle components, which feels like adding another layer of "will people change their minds." Recently, everyone’s been criticizing validators' income, MEV, and unfair ordering, which I can understand. The ordering is no longer ethical; how can I trust that cross-chain messages won't be clipped or delayed? Anyway, I first check whether the other chain is alive and whether validators are decentralized before making a small test... I talk tough but hesitate to act, just trying to stay safe.
