Just now, I was waiting on the chain for a cross-chain transfer to arrive, and that "Confirming" status on the interface was taking forever, making people anxious... But honestly, those few minutes/hours are actually time for you to reconsider and for the system to perform self-checks. The biggest fear for bridges isn't slowness, but that the keys of a few multi-signature signers get heated and signed quickly, or that oracles report errors and still pass everything through; what you see as "waiting for confirmation" is, to some extent, forcing everyone not to just trust and move assets away with a single "Trust me." Recently, a bunch of new L1/L2s are offering incentives to attract TVL, and old users complain about mining, farming, and selling. I can understand that. The more lively it gets, the more it reminds us of the old problems with bridges: hot money comes fast, and problems also happen quickly. Anyway, I now prefer to transfer less and in batches across chains, slow down if needed, at least having a clear idea in mind.
