Lately, I've been testing the IBC approach, and the more I look at it, the more I realize that a cross-chain transfer actually involves trusting three things: the source chain won't rollback or go offline, the relayer (the one transporting messages) won't disconnect, and the verification logic on the target chain won't be bypassed. To put it simply, a bridge is not just about "moving tokens over"; if the message passing gets stuck, your assets might not be lost, but you're stuck halfway, and once liquidity gaps appear, you're just left waiting... I no longer seek explanations now, accepting randomness, preferring slower confirmations and waiting for a few more blocks. By the way, I see the group arguing again about whether the extreme funding rates should reverse or continue to inflate the bubble. My approach remains the same: act only when it's confirmed on-chain, don't race against emotions on the bridge.
