Recently, someone asked me what we are really afraid of with cross-chain bridges. To put it simply, it's "You think it's on the chain, but actually it's in someone else's hands." If the multi-signature signers have issues / get phished, or if the oracle data feed malfunctions, the tokens on the bridge side will get stuck like waiting in line for a number, or even disappear completely. I used to think that waiting for confirmation was slow, but now I feel those few minutes are like brake pads—slower but can save your life.

Seeing the funding rates become extreme again, and the group arguing whether to reverse or continue pumping the bubble, my first reaction isn't to bet on the direction, but to reduce the target: smaller positions, fewer cross-chain transactions, avoid bridges if possible, and if using a bridge, do it in batches and wait for confirmation. The aftereffects of that liquidation... Anyway, I’d rather miss out on a little than experience "assets disappearing on the way" again.
