Lately I've been looking at cross-chain bridges again, and the more I look, the more I feel that "waiting for confirmation" isn't really procrastination, but more about giving yourself a safety margin... Multi-signature sounds stable, but it really just depends on whether the signers/machines are the same group of "vulnerable points"; oracles are even more mysterious—if the data is skewed, the bridge will take it seriously. Currently, everyone is talking about rate cut expectations, the US dollar index, risk assets sometimes rising together and sometimes falling together, and when sentiment heats up, people are more likely to think things are slow and want instant confirmation.



If I had urged myself two minutes less at that time, waited for a few more confirmations, and checked whether the signer addresses had any anomalies or changes, I might not have been misled by the illusion of "being stuck = having a problem"... Anyway, I now prefer to go slower, and before crossing, I first run through the worst-case scenario in my mind.
