I just saw in the group chat again those charts claiming "a certain stablecoin is going to depeg," paired with conspiracy theories about regulation/reserve audits. I was annoyed and trembling as I checked that cross-chain transaction of mine... I got scared. To put it simply, one IBC/message passing/bridge isn't just clicking a button and done; you have to trust that: the frontend won't give you fake pop-ups, wallet signatures won't be manipulated, the source chain and target chain's light clients/verification logic won't go wrong, relayers won't malfunction when transmitting messages, and the bridge contract permissions aren't "unlimited authorization to spend freely." I almost gave an unknown contract unlimited permissions to a frequently used address again. Luckily, I habitually opened the approval list to check and immediately revoked it... Anyway, now I always test cross-chain transactions with small amounts first. If I can't understand the signature content, I won't sign it. Clearing permissions—this OCD sometimes really can save your life.
