Arjun | xcall me maybe @arjunbhuptani

"This wouldn't happen with rollups" It already almost has several times. "This wouldn't happen with IBC" BSC<>BNB was using light clients. "Multichain not crosschain" Rollups, validiums, other constructions need to exist for scalability so this problems will ALWAYS exist.

So, yet again, we are faced with the dilemma - do we want a simple bridge but with trusted validators that can censor, freeze or seize funds or do we want trustless but significantly more complicated infrastructure ? End /8
