I'm not very good at explaining big principles, but I really am a bit afraid of cross-chain bridges now... Recently, when writing scripts to scan event logs, I often see a bunch of statuses like "Pending confirmation / waiting for finalize," to be honest, those few minutes aren't just dawdling; they're giving you a chance to discover if the oracle price feed is acting up or if multi-signature signers suddenly change/thresholds shift. Even if the bridge's multi-signature is "decentralized," with more people, it can also become "everyone thinks someone else is watching"; even if the oracle is "authoritative," one wrong feed is enough to teach you a lesson. Now, with various incentives and token expectations on testnets, everyone's hopes are up, and the group is guessing daily whether the mainnet will issue tokens, but I'm actually more concerned: have you confirmed that transaction you crossed over? Anyway, my habit is to test small amounts first when bridging, prefer to go slow, and if I see something abnormal, I withdraw, not gambling with my wallet.
