I've been underwater for a long time, and I can't help but say: cross-chain bridges are definitely not something to just "click and go." You think you're waiting for confirmation, but really you're waiting for a bunch of people/machines to not mess up—if the multi-signature keys get into a bad state, or if the oracle data feed wobbles, the bridge could give you a performance of "funds arrived but not arrived." So now I prefer to go slower, maximize confirmation counts, and accept higher fees—at least I know I'm waiting for on-chain consensus, not just a few people in a chat group to give the green light. Recently, there's been talk about validators earning too much, MEV causing unfair ordering, and honestly, even within the same chain, order can be manipulated. Don't expect "absolute fairness" in cross-chain operations—consider the risks as part of the cost before confirming.
