Recently, I've seen more news about cross-chain bridge hacks, and honestly, I'm not surprised at all. Bridges seem like "transportation," but underneath, they are actually built on trust: signing with multiple people doesn't mean nothing will go wrong, it just replaces single-point risk with the probability that "several people will have issues or fall for phishing" at the same time; as for oracles, don't even get me started—if the price feed glitches, the chain will execute errors very seriously.



I'm increasingly convinced by the saying "wait for confirmation." Don't dislike the slow pace; slowness is a cost and also insurance. Especially when encountering oracle anomalies, waiting for a few blocks to confirm and for the community to clarify the consensus at least prevents rushing in during the most chaotic moments to provide liquidity. Stop-loss is about survival, and waiting for confirmation is too. Anyway, I added another note to my checklist: on bridges, spend less time rushing for speed, and focus on staying alive first.
