Actually, everyone understands that the biggest fear of cross-chain bridges isn't "getting stuck for a moment," but thinking they're waiting for confirmation when in fact they're waiting for someone to wake up or not slip up in a multi-signature group... Recently, I couldn't help but complain in the DAO meeting notes: on-chain showing only 12/15 signatures remaining is more torturous than waiting for quorum in voting.



Oracles are the same, basically it's about "who's feeding the data, and what if they feed it wrong." So now I prefer cross-chain transfers to be a bit slower, as long as I see it truly confirming block by block; that UI showing just "processing..." trying to fool me, forget it, I won't rush.

Recently, with all these testnet incentives and points schemes making everyone hyped, people are asking daily in the group whether the mainnet will issue tokens. I just say: don't risk your assets in the bridge just for points, no matter how tempting the rewards are, they don't guarantee compensation. That's it for now.
