That L2 Solana bridge rollout? Absolute mess. 19 transactions across 26 hours tells you everything. Here's the kicker—they engineered it one-way only. Solana to that chain works fine, but reverse direction? Dead on arrival. Intentional design or amateur hour?

Now check this: the x402 agent payment standard they pioneered just hemorrhaged 95% of its dollar flow to Solana within four weeks. Four. Weeks.

You don't accidentally build broken infrastructure. Either the internal testing was nonexistent or someone made a calculated bet that backfired spectacularly. When your own protocol innovation drives capital exodus to a competing ecosystem at that velocity, that's not migration—that's evacuation.

The data doesn't lie. Bridges that only work in one direction aren't bridges. They're one-way tickets.
