Last night, while night running and browsing on-chain data, I got itchy and wanted to cross-chain.


Honestly, it's just that I see some "cheap goods/opportunities" on other chains and can't sit still, afraid of missing out...
But just thinking about how many trust assumptions are involved in a single cross-chain: the source chain not to rollback, the target chain not to glitch, that whole message passing system (IBC/bridge verification, relayer forwarding, light clients/multisig/oracles) any link falling apart could send me packing.
When the mainnet gas suddenly becomes ridiculously expensive, it feels more like paying an "anxiety tax."
Recently, I’ve also grown tired of the inflation + studio + coin price spiral in chain games, and with more cross-chain assets, the speed of getting wrecked doubles...
Anyway, I now stick to native IBC and avoid weird bridges, doing small tests, and after running through, I just grab my phone: don’t block the way.
