Recently, new L1/L2s are starting to pour incentives to boost TVL, and old users in the group are complaining "mining and selling," but I'm actually more worried about that rush when people cross-chain. Bridges, to put it simply, are just three things: who manages the multisig, who the oracle trusts, and what exactly are we waiting for in "waiting for confirmation."

I used to be quite reckless, wanting to retry or urge customer service when deposits were slow… Now I prefer it a bit slower: even if there are more signers, I’m afraid the same group of people might be compromised; if the oracle is fed the wrong price, even a secure bridge is useless; and "waiting for confirmation" isn’t about rushing through the process, it’s about leaving time for reorganization, rollback, or handling anomalies, especially when the chain is just heating up and nodes are unstable. Anyway, I’d rather go through fewer cross-chain steps than save a few minutes and end up in a trap.
