I muted the group, and my ears feel much clearer, and I worry less... Before, every scroll was full of "Cross-chain issues again" and "Another bridge got hacked," and after seeing it so often, my hands started itching. Only when I calmed down did I realize: a cross-chain transfer is essentially a gamble on which part you trust—the source chain itself is fine, the message is correctly packaged/verified, the relay/validators didn't act maliciously, the target chain's contract isn't maliciously written, and you also need to sign correctly on the frontend and yourself. I feel a bit more at ease with IBC, at least its logic is more like "inter-chain proof transmission," but it's not a get-out-of-jail-free card; bad configuration and implementation can still cause failures.

Recently, someone compared RWA and U.S. Treasury yields to on-chain yield products, and hearing that makes me even more inclined to tighten permissions: the yield looks like interest, but the risk is more like "who do you really trust." Anyway, I prefer to earn less, and if cross-chain can avoid using bridges, I won't use bridges. If I really have to, I’ll first clear all authorizations. That’s all for now.
