Recently, I've been watching cross-chain bridge transactions again, and the more I look, the more I realize that "waiting for confirmation" is really not just being picky. Multi-signature sounds stable, but it's actually just shifting the risk from the code to people: a few individuals losing their phones / falling for phishing / temporarily changing rules, and the bridge could just approve the transaction directly. Oracles are the same, basically saying "who will tell me what happened on the other chain," and if they feed the wrong data once, a series of liquidations and arbitrage follow. I usually don't chase after large transfers on the chain; I prefer to wait for two rounds of confirmation before acting, even if I miss some fluctuations. By the way, I've been noticing the recent heated debate over NFT royalties, which is also like this game: creators want certainty, the market wants liquidity, and in the end, it all depends on whether the rules can be enforced and whether everyone is willing to wait.
