Recently, I've been looking into IBC / cross-chain messaging. To put it simply, when you initiate a cross-chain transfer, it's not just "sent out and arrived." There are quite a few things you need to trust in the process: the light client / verification rules of the source chain must be reliable; the consensus recognition of the other chain can be quite uncertain; relayers, although theoretically unable to steal, can block you, choose the timing, and make you think "it hasn't arrived"; and the bridge layer contracts/modules, including permissions, upgrades, and pause switches, all need to be carefully checked. Currently, hardware wallets are still out of stock, and phishing links are everywhere. I prefer to: do a small test transfer before a full cross-chain operation, confirm that the receiving chain and channel are correctly filled, and not just click quickly when seeing buttons like "accelerate arrival"... Anyway, taking it slow is always less stressful than fixing problems later.
