Recently, someone complained again about validators eating MEV and unfair ordering; what I’m actually more worried about is something going wrong with cross-chain bridges: you think you're waiting for confirmation, but in reality, you're waiting for multi-signature approval, waiting for the oracle to feed data without glitches. No matter how well the multi-signature threshold is set, with many people, they might all get lazy or get phished; even if the oracle is “decentralized,” delays and outliers can make the liquidation threshold very awkward. To put it simply, bridges are not just “transfers,” they’re more like collateralized loans: counterparty risk plus time risk are both considered. What I don’t regret is that before each cross-chain operation, I check the distribution of signers, the source of price feeds, and how long the worst-case waiting time is. If it’s slow, so be it—at least it’s better than a liquidation alert popping up unexpectedly. That’s all for now.
