Recently, someone asked me again whether cross-chain bridges can be used to testnet incentives, accumulate points, or for mainnet token issuance... I'll start with the conclusion: if you really want to play, it's okay, but don't treat "waiting for confirmation" as customer service talk. Once the multi-signature on the bridge side encounters an issue, or if the data feeding system makes a mistake, the balance you see on the other chain might just be an illusion. When you want to withdraw, you'll find the door has already closed.

When I use bridges myself, I deliberately go slower: start with small amounts, and wait until it’s truly stable before adding more, rather than risking missing out on some expected points. Honestly, the confirmation count isn't meant to torment people; it's a buffer zone to give you a "this isn't settled yet" pause. I don't know whether the mainnet will issue tokens, but if the bridge has an accident, all the points I accumulated before are wasted. Anyway, I care more about whether it can run safely.
