Cross-chain bridges have historically been prime targets for exploits due to complex trust assumptions and attack surfaces. Inherent insecurity arises from reliance on validators, oracles, or external consensus mechanisms. While zk-based bridges and native interoperability reduce risks, no design fully eliminates them. The security of cross-chain protocols depends on economic guarantees, decentralization of relayers, and cryptographic robustness. In practice, bridging will remain a risk vector, but innovations may shift perception from “inherently insecure” to “risk-manageable.”
