Over the years, cross-chain bridges have increasingly looked like picking screws out of ruins: multi-signature is basically "a few people pressing buttons together," if the people are reliable, it's okay; if not, just pretend it wasn't written. Oracles are even more mysterious, usually quite normal, but when something goes wrong, it's "the data sources just happened to go blind collectively." So now I have a bit of an obsession with the words "wait for confirmation," preferring to be slow, wait a few more rounds, at least not treat something that hasn't been finally confirmed as money to spend.
Recently, a bunch of AI Agents and automated trading accounts are running around on the chain, hyped up with grand narratives, but when it comes to bridge and contract details, everyone acts as if they haven't seen anything... Anyway, my own habit is: first check the permission structure, whether there's a pause button, who can cover for problems, the more I can wait, the better. It's not innate caution, but learned from stepping on landmines.
