Lately I've been looking into the cross-chain bridge process again. Honestly, the biggest concern isn't the fees, but the phrase "waiting for confirmation." Multi-signature looks secure, but it's actually like a group of people holding keys together—how many people there are, whether they're the same group, where the signing machines are placed... all of that is pretty critical; oracles are even more mysterious. If the fed prices and statuses are skewed, no matter how strict the contract is later, it's all useless.

I just dared to transfer 8 USDT as a test, and it got stuck waiting for confirmation for over two minutes. People started overthinking: at this point, being "slow" is actually protective, giving you a tiny window to reconsider and observe. By the way, I want to complain that recently, on-chain data tools and label systems are said to be lagging and can be misled. I kind of believe it... So, if you really want to assess the risk, you still need to break down the transaction path yourself—don't rely too much on labels. Anyway, I don't dare to use bridges for large amounts for now, so I'll stick with this.
