Recently, some people have been scaring themselves with token unlock calendars, saying that staking unlocks will cause a dump... But I'm more concerned about something else: who do you really trust in this cross-chain transaction? Whether it's IBC or various message passing methods, honestly, it's not just "Chain A sends a package and Chain B trusts it." There are intermediate steps like light client/verification logic, relayers (will the carriers cause trouble), the target chain's contract/module permissions, and the bunch of "emergency pause/upgrade" keys, who holds them? The addresses of funds pools in bridges, admin permissions, whether the routing can be changed at will—these are all things I now check like doing a background check.

My biggest fear isn't losing money, but watching assets silently move away with a string of signatures and permissions I don't recognize, thinking I slipped up. Anyway, before cross-chain, I first review permissions, upgrade rights, and the project team's wallet movements. If it's too troublesome, I cross less. That's how I do it for now.
