AI-Driven Attacks Force Boltz to Halt Operations Indefinitely
Boltz, a non-custodial Bitcoin swap platform, has indefinitely suspended its services due to an escalating surge in AI-powered attacks targeting its infrastructure.
The company assured users that their funds remain safe and refunds are being processed normally. The suspension marks a significant escalation in the ongoing battle between cryptocurrency platforms and increasingly sophisticated automated threats.
While Boltz did not disclose specific attack vectors, industry experts note that AI-driven bots can execute credential stuffing, API abuse, and network-level DDoS attacks at scales that overwhelm traditional security measures. The platform's non-custodial design likely prevented direct financial losses, but service availability and user experience were compromised.
