Over the past couple of days, I’ve seen people again rushing the cross-chain bridge, like, “Why hasn’t it arrived yet?” It reminded me that I used to be just as anxious. Then I was taught—over there, the bridge needs multiple signers to approve, the oracles have to feed in the data, and you still have to wait for on-chain confirmation. To put it plainly, it’s basically trading time for “making sure nothing goes wrong.” If you think it’s slow, it’s actually helping you dodge traps. Especially now, when everyone is complaining about miners’/validators’ income and how MEV makes ordering unfair—if someone cuts in line and reorders transactions, you might think it’s just a network slowdown, but it could be that someone messed with things ahead of you… Anyway, now I’d rather wait a few more minutes to cross the bridge than save a little time and trade it for a whole body of cold sweat. That’s it.
