Actually, everyone understands that cross-chain bridge issues are never about "chain insecurity," but more about people and processes being unstable. Multi-signature sounds very secure, but who signs, whether they are from the same company, how the keys are stored, and being urged to confirm in the middle of the night—all of these are quite risky; oracles are the same—once the price feed/status feed gets stuck, what you see as "funds received" might just be the frontend showing you a quick update.
So now, what I value most in cross-chain is actually the three words "wait for confirmation": better to be slow and wait for enough block confirmations, wait for the other side's finality, rather than being led by the experience of instant transfers. Recently, everyone has been comparing RWA, US bond yields, and on-chain yield products, and I do pay attention, but honestly, no matter how much the yield looks like a government bond, if the bridge fails, everything is pointless... Anyway, I prefer small amounts multiple times, and if I can avoid using bridges, I will—this keeps my mindset much better.
