Recently, I've seen people chasing high yields on cross-chain bridges again. To be honest, what I fear most isn't high transaction fees, but the set of multi-signature, oracles, and various "seemingly decentralized" combo punches on the bridge. When something really goes wrong, you'll realize that the control buttons are in the hands of a few people. Don't think I'm being verbose—"waiting for confirmation" isn't some kind of mysticism, especially during moments when the chain occasionally stalls or reorganizes; a delay of a few minutes could mean life or death. Recently, the staking and shared security setups have been criticized as "copy-paste," which I can understand. The yields keep stacking, but the underlying risks haven't decreased. Today, a colleague asked me if I could just cross over with one click to save trouble... I can only say that the places where you can save trouble are often the easiest to sacrifice security for.
