These past couple of days, I've been practicing "pausing" — when the market heats up, I stop, not rushing to cross-chain move assets. To put it simply, every time I cross-chain or send messages, it's ultimately a gamble: hoping the source chain doesn't rollback, the target chain doesn't have issues, and that the relay/validators/light clients/multisig setups aren't hacked, plus avoiding fake contracts pointed to by the frontend... If one link loosens, the whole chain collapses. While IBC sounds more "native," it's not a get-out-of-jail-free card; it still depends on the security and implementation details of the other chain. By the way, I want to complain that many on-chain data tools' tags are really lagging behind, sometimes even misleading. I’d rather pause and review the contract and path myself, take it slow with small amounts, and do it this way for now.
