Recently, someone asked me again, "Why hasn't the cross-chain transfer arrived yet?" Basically, the biggest problem with bridges isn't slowness, but the misconception that they are fast. Multi-signature looks like a group of people just pressing "approve," but how the signers are chosen, what the threshold is, whether hot wallet permissions are involved—miss any of these, and it could turn into a "collective scapegoat"; the same goes for oracles—if the price feed/status feed gets stuck, the subsequent matching process and slippage all get messed up. The so-called "waiting for confirmation" isn't a ritual; it's a buffer for the finality on the chain, especially during congestion, a quick reorganization can make your patience explode. By the way, regarding the NFT royalty mudslinging, everyone is shouting about liquidity, but the risks are quietly being pushed downstream... Cross-chain is a bit like going through customs or sending a courier—don't complain about it being verbose; when something goes wrong, you'll just wish it asked you a few more questions.
