## Quote — verbatim

> The assets are not actually secured by the bridge, but rather the bridge or the relayer just puts packets across. It doesn't secure any of the assets — the security of the asset depends on the security of the blockchain that either sends the asset or receives the asset.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken
