Lately I've been looking at cross-chain bridges again, and the more I look, the more uneasy I feel...

That order book sentiment makes me want to rush in as soon as it flares up, but honestly, bridges are not just "transfers," they involve trusting a package of multi-signature + oracles + a bunch of scripts.
Fewer signers are afraid of being manipulated, but too many signers slow things down;
If the oracle glitches, what you see on-chain as "sent out" is actually just the beginning, and whether you're truly safe depends on the subsequent confirmation counts.
I used to complain about the "waiting for confirmations" delay, and at night I just wanted to get in quickly, but now I think: better to wait a few more minutes, spend a little more on fees and time, rather than risking assets disappearing because of cutting corners.
Recently everyone talks about staking unlocks, unlock calendar selling pressure, and I feel anxious too, but I'm more afraid of gambling on luck with bridges just to catch a K-line...
Forget it, better to pull back my hands first.
