Recently, I thought about cross-chain bridges again, and I really don’t dare to take shortcuts. Multi-signature sounds stable, but it’s actually “more people doesn’t mean no issues”; the same goes for oracles. If the on-chain price feeding/status gets messy, what you see on another chain might just be an illusion. So now I feel more at ease seeing the words “await confirmation,” at least I know it’s following the rules, not some hand behind the scenes changing things. By the way, hardware wallets have been out of stock lately, and phishing links are everywhere. People’s security awareness has improved, but if a bridge really has a problem, it’s still easy to panic. Anyway, what I fear most isn’t slowness, but chaos: you can wait if it’s slow, but if it’s chaotic, you won’t know who to trust. After minting, I’ll just shut down the software and play dead for now.
