Just now, my phone pop-up showed a "Cross-Chain Arrival" red dot again, and I reached out to tap confirm, but suddenly I remembered the recent bridge hacks... I pulled my hand back. Honestly, when you do a cross-chain transfer, you trust more than you think: the source chain shouldn't rollback or fork too ridiculously, the message passing in the middle (whether it's IBC or others) must really be transferring "messages" not "power," lightweight clients/relays/validators shouldn't collude, the contract on the target chain shouldn't be written to explode, and the oracle shouldn't suddenly give an outrageous quote that forces everyone into a "waiting for confirmation" consensus. Anyway, before I do a cross-chain transfer now, I first check who sent that on-chain message via relayer, and whether the confirmation count is enough; if not, I treat it as the noodles aren't fully cooked yet... better not add spice first.
