Yesterday, someone else used the "unlock calendar" to scare themselves, basically just afraid of selling pressure. I casually thought about cross-chain: you click once to cross, on the surface it looks like sending a message, but behind the scenes you're actually betting that a series of components won't go wrong — the source chain won't rollback itself, the proof/verification process won't be missed, the relay forwarding won't act maliciously, the destination chain won't get stuck during execution, and most importantly, the multi-signature/permissions of the bridge won't be taken away with a single key. What makes me a bit more at ease with IBC is that it’s more like "letting two chains verify each other's state," less human trust involved, but it’s not immune either — client updates and chain halts are enough to give you trouble. Anyway, when I look at cross-chain now, I don’t care how smooth it’s hyped up to be, I only ask: who do I actually trust this message from? That’s all for now.
