Lately I've noticed everyone is again talking about testnet incentives, points, and guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens... Emotions really come and go quickly. Speaking of cross-chain stuff, now before I do any IBC/message passing/bridge, I always run through in my mind: who am I trusting— the chain's own consensus, light client/validation logic, that relayer (the person/program forwarding messages), or whether the bridge contract/multisig/oracle "middle layer" will fail completely if one part crashes. To put it simply, cross-chain isn't a single step; it's a series of component handoffs, and the weakest link is where things break. A friend asked me yesterday, "Is having more points safer?" I almost laughed out loud... First, clearly define the trust boundaries, don’t get carried away by airdrop expectations.
