Should we be more conservative about Near bridge, maybe Aurora bridge too? @duc

“… it’s unclear what the impact will be for these companies, which include Helium Inc., Aptos Labs, NEAR Protocol, and Mysten Labs.”

Of course, Near says that they have minimal exposure but not sure how much we can trust those words especially after SBF et al.'s lies :rofl:

Yeah thanks for rasing that concern @abduraman. Currently, Near and Aurora bridges are silo-ed bridges so their tokens haven’t unified with other bridges networks’ tokens yet. So basically, if there is any possible risk with the network (in Incognito) then that would be about liquidity provision in Incognito exchange (say NEAR <> PRV pair). However, let’s keep an eye on that to see what’s going on (prior to taking any actions).
