No it is not. Otherwise it would be the base layer. You still have to trust the miners to release the funds at the specified time frame. They can just refuse or just out straight rug. Why would we need this shit on a L1 securing $500B of value?

By your logic then #Bitcoin mining isn’t trustless either. You could say « you need to trust the miners to include your transaction in the blockΒ Β». The reason your transaction will be included is because miners are financially incentivized to do so. Same goes with pegging out your #BTC from a #drivechain. Honest miners will do it because that their interest to do so.
