Recently, someone asked me again, "Why does the cross-chain bridge keep waiting for confirmations?" Actually, many times it's not a delay, but an attempt to avoid pitfalls... The biggest concerns with bridges are threefold: multi-signature, oracles, and slow confirmation times. Multi-signature setups have fewer people holding keys, like putting keys in a few people's pockets; only when they come together can they open the door, which is safer but also susceptible to collusion. Oracles are more like "who reports the data," and a single mistake can cause the accounts to mismatch. Waiting for confirmation essentially makes the on-chain history harder to reverse, trading speed for certainty. If you rush, you might end up losing everything in the end. By the way, I saw the NFT royalty debate getting heated, and I think it's the same issue: everyone wants more liquidity and smoother transactions, but safety, income, and rules always come at a cost... Anyway, I personally choose bridges with high transparency; if I can wait, I wait. If I'm in a hurry, I prefer to cross less often.
