Pulled up the traffic flow of several bridge chains after a night run, and casually remembered "Who do we really trust in cross-chain?"

Saying it plainly, a transfer from A to B is not just clicking a button, at least you need to trust: the source chain won't rollback itself, the message passing verification/relay won't act up, the target chain's execution won't get stuck, plus the permissions and upgrade pathways of the bridge contract shouldn't be too casual.
What I find more comfortable about IBC is that the path is clearer, who is responsible for proof, who is responsible for forwarding, you can basically draw it out.
Anyway, when I look at cross-chain now, I don't focus much on promotional words, I first look at how long the trust chain is, whether issues can be pinpointed.
Recently, everyone is talking about easing expectations, the dollar index, the correlation of risk assets rising and falling together, but I think it's better not to get carried away, no matter how loud the macro noise, the trust surface of the bridge should still be as big as it is.
That's all for now.
