It's true that cross-chain bridges still have some flaws, but it could be too early to dismiss them, argues a blockchain cybersecurity expert.
, prompted critics to ponder whether cross-chain bridges can be anything other than a security liability in purely technological terms. So, is it time to give up on the idea of an internet of blockchains held together by bridges? Not necessarily.When contracts get too smart
Bear in mind that each step of the process is actually broken down into a linear sequence of smaller actions, even the initial transfer is made in steps. The network must first check if the user indeed has enough Catcoins, subtract them from their wallet, then add the appropriate amount to that of the smart contract. These steps make up the overall logic that handles the value being moved between chains.
There is a bigger point to be made here: Don’t blame a concept for a flawed implementation. Hackers always follow the money, and the more people use cross-chain bridges, the bigger is their incentive to attack such protocols. The same logic applies to anything that holds value and is connected to the internet. Banks get hacked, too, and yet, we’re in no rush to shutter all of them because they are a crucial piece of the larger economy.
