## Quote — verbatim

> We're going to see insecure bridges — the bridges have to burn... bridges are insecure, we've been talking about \[it\] a long time, and I think that's where IBC is going to take the center stage when bridges are going to fail... yes, we're going to see some exploits before we can see success.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Days after the Nomad exploit; he explains IBC relayers pass packets without custodying assets, unlike bridges, though he cautions chain security still depends on bonded stake vs TVL.
