I just turned off an automatic cross-chain position renewal, feeling a bit more at ease. To be honest, cross-chain stuff isn't just "send a message and it's done"; you have to trust multiple layers: the finality of the source and target chains themselves, whether the relayer/relay responsible for transmitting messages is messing around, whether the verification of that proof in the light client/contract logic has pitfalls, and further down, there are parts like multi-signature/multisig on the bridge, oracles, and admin permissions—these are the "people" involved. IBC is relatively cleaner, at least trying to push trust onto the two chains and their verification logic, but once the chain gets congested or reorganized, the interest rate curve can change with the weather, and just receiving a message doesn't mean you can execute as planned. Recently, everyone has been explaining all the ups and downs with ETF fund flows and U.S. stock risk appetite, but I care more whether the "pipeline" of cross-chain is leaking today—miss once, and no matter how good the yield, it's all for nothing.
