These days, I've been talking about cross-chain bridges again, and I still say the same: moving money across the bridge isn't "transferring," it's more like temporarily handing over the keys to a group of people plus a weather-reporting machine. Multi-signature sounds stable, but it's actually like a few people jointly holding your house key—nothing happens normally, but if someone has bad intentions, it can cause trouble; oracles shouldn't be overly glorified, to be honest, they are just feeding data, and if the data is wrong, the bridge can still go off course.
So now I tend to pause a bit when I see the words "await confirmation," it's not hesitation, but leaving a brake distance for you. Recently, the stacking of yields from staking/sharing security has been criticized as "copycat," and I understand. Layer after layer, in the end, who is actually backing the guarantee? Anyway, I prefer to go slower and see clearly who can press the emergency stop button. That's all for now.
