Just finished eating potato chips and watched a cross-chain bridge process, suddenly feeling that the words "wait for confirmation" are really not just procrastination... To put it plainly, the biggest fear of a bridge is that you think the money has gone through, but in reality, it’s just a multi-signature point signing off, or an oracle feeding data that hasn't fully matched yet. Multi-signature looks stable, but it also depends on whether the signers are too centralized or if they might all turn against each other; oracles are more like "megaphones," a single wrong transmission can send the bridge down the drain. Recently, the group has been talking about testnet incentives, whether to accumulate points, or whether the mainnet will issue tokens. I understand that itchy feeling to rush, but for cross-chain stuff, I’d rather go slower now, wait a bit longer for more confirmations, at least feel more at ease before sleeping. Anyway, I’ll cross less and do it in batches... that’s it for now.
