Recently, L2s are arguing over TPS, fees, and subsidies, arguing like a vegetable market, but my first reaction is: who takes responsibility if you cross the line? As for cross-chain bridges, honestly, it’s not about “speed,” it’s about “can you find the people if something goes wrong.” Multi-signature looks stable, but it’s actually shifting risk from code to human nature: a few signatures, and a few people can be phished, coerced, or bought. Oracles are even more amusing; they always talk about decentralization, but at critical moments, it turns into “we’re waiting for confirmation”… But this “waiting for confirmation” is not nonsense; many liquidations aren’t because the market is harsh, but because you’re too impatient—before the bridge even settles, you’ve already considered yourself settled. Anyway, I only trust two things in perpetuals: funding rates and human nature. When it comes to bridges, the latter is the main factor, and taking it slow at least lets you sleep peacefully.
