Another cross-chain bridge has been hacked — 50 million USD just disappeared, and the assets of tens of thousands of users have been completely wiped out. How many times has this happened this year? It's too many to count.

To be honest, playing with crypto is really exhausting now. There are more and more Ethereum Layer 2 solutions (Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, ZkSync...), and each chain has its own liquidity pool. Want to chase profits? You can only run back and forth between various bridges. The long cross-chain confirmation times, outrageous bridging fees, and the constant anxiety - will this transaction arrive safely? Did I encounter a hack this time? This "fragmented nightmare" is completely exhausting.

Upon careful consideration, the cryptocurrency world in 2025 has actually entered a dead end: in pursuit of the so-called technological advancement and the Layer championship competition, it has sacrificed the two most critical aspects—user experience and fund security. Ironically, some long-established Layer 1s, although mocked by tech geeks for their "insufficient decentralization," have proven true robustness through actual operating time and data. Take Tron for example: transfers are completed in seconds, Gas costs can be ignored, and the DeFi applications within the ecosystem (JustLend, SunSwap, etc.) have already formed a closed loop.

USDD 2.0 plays a key role in the Tron network - it is not just a simple stablecoin, but a connection hub for the entire ecosystem. You don't need to take on cross-chain risks to chase marginal gains on other chains, as there are already plenty of options available here. Safety, stability, and convenience - these basic needs are actually worth more than the latest technological labels.

Once again, the cross-chain bridge has been hacked. Losing 50 million is bad enough, and it's the kind of loss that thousands of people are sharing as casualties. What’s the point of playing with L2? Fragmentation is just a trap. Running back and forth between bridges every day, with sky-high transaction fees and constant worry—whether it will succeed or not is all uncertain this time. Honestly, sticking to the fundamentals is the most reliable approach. Security > profit. Why do we have to keep emphasizing this logic? I’ve actually lost interest in the game between different chains. A closed-loop ecosystem is truly appealing. For those who don’t understand, just keep running chains. That’s why some people are still earning passively on Tron, while others are daily risk managers. It’s just different choices.

Another one? 50 million USD just disappeared like that, I really can't hold on anymore. Cross-chain bridges are just a pit, every time it's nerve-wracking. Instead of messing around with various L2s, it's better to play honestly on TRON, instant arrival, Gas fees ridiculously low, why complicate things for yourself. That's why I've long turned to the TRON ecosystem, USDD is enough here, really no need for all that fancy stuff. Technical advancement means nothing, safe arrival is more important than anything else.

Another one? I really can't hold on anymore, the cross-chain bridges explode every week, what’s the point of playing this game? To be honest, playing in such a fragmented way is really exhausting. L2s are everywhere, Gas fees are ridiculously high, and I constantly worry about whether my assets will be drained. These tech enthusiasts are really outrageous, competing on Layer, and as a result, user experience and security have completely collapsed. It's just ironic. Although TRON gets dissed, it’s really stable. Transfers are instant, and Gas fees are almost nonexistent. With just these two advantages, it’s actually enough. Why bother with cross-chain? Isn’t it better to buy the dip within one chain? The risks are much lower.

Another 50 million is gone... I'm numb to it, really. I've completely given up on this cross-chain bridge; every time it's like gambling. Safety really is valuable, more appealing than any new technology. On the TRON side, it's stable; although people criticize the decentralization, my account has never lost money.

Another one? 50 million just disappeared, to be honest, it's a bit frustrating. Every day cross-chain cross-chain, I've been driven crazy by this broken bridge, expensive fees, slow speed, and you have to gamble on luck, it's really just for fun. Actually, I'm already tired of those L2 bragging, like Arbitrum and Base, in the end, it's just a bunch of play people for suckers. On the contrary, TRON, this "old antique," is as stable as a rock, instant transfers, Gas can be ignored, and it has a self-circulating ecosystem, why bother. USDD 2.0 over there is enough, why take the risk to squeeze those little scraps of profit from other chains?
