Is that “waiting for confirmation” on cross-chain bridges really just a few extra minutes of delay?

Anyway, I increasingly feel that those few minutes are actually buying the probability of “avoiding an incident”… Multi-signature seems secure, but are the signers on the same boat, can their permissions be bypassed? Honestly, it’s still about people; oracles are even more mysterious—if the data skews, the bridge side follows suit, and no matter how lively the chain gets, it can’t be saved.
Now I prefer to be a bit slower when bridging, waiting for enough confirmations, checking signature changes/admin actions before proceeding—less profit is okay if it means less risk.
Recently, the kind of inflation + studio-driven chain games that turn the coin’s price into a spiral when they ramp up also remind me: the smoother the story, the more you need to watch out for infrastructure vulnerabilities, don’t get caught up in the hype and increase your position.
