These days I've been seeing a bunch of airdrop tasks, and the anti-witchcraft efforts are starting to feel more like clocking in for work... I'm a bit tired too, but I still casually check what cross-chain is really trusting. To put it simply, a message transfer from "A to B" isn't just trusting the front end of the bridge; you have to break it down all the way: Will chain A rollback itself, who is submitting the proof/signature, is the verification logic solid, will relayers relay your message correctly, and finally, how does the B chain contract handle this message (are there replay attacks, order issues, timeout risks, and other small pitfalls). IBC feels like it clarifies the "trust boundary" a bit more, but when you really use it, you still have to ask yourself: am I trusting the security of the chain itself, or am I trusting a group of people/multisig/unchanged code that hasn't had issues? That's all for now, take it slow, don't let points push you too fast.
