The bridge has been used for so long, does anyone really think a single click will solve everything? I used to think so too, but after being educated a few times by "waiting for confirmation," I’ve become more cautious.



To be honest, the biggest risk with cross-chain bridges isn’t your slow response, but issues with the multi-signature and oracle on the bridge side: few signers, centralized permissions, if they get compromised or have an internal failure, what you see on the chain as "locked/minted" might just be an illusion; if the oracle glitches, the state synchronization can go haywire. Now, every time I cross, I prefer to wait for a few more confirmations—saving a little on fees isn’t worth it. The number of confirmations is basically a gamble on whether the other side will rollback or cause some last-minute trouble.

Recently, I’ve been talking about rate cut expectations, the dollar index, risk assets sometimes rising together and sometimes falling together—sentiment comes and goes quickly... The more these situations happen, the less I want to leave assets hanging on the bridge halfway through; I’d rather go slow, at least I can sleep peacefully. That’s all for now.
