Boltz Halts Swap Services Amid Widespread AI-Driven Cyber Attacks

Boltz, the dominant Bitcoin atomic swap and bridge protocol, has indefinitely halted its swap services following a wave of sophisticated AI-assisted exploits. The halt began at 5:54 a.m ET, with the Lightning and Liquid swap rails cut off from wallets such as Aqua and Bitcoin Bull.

In a statement, Boltz cited the need to protect users and prevent further losses due to these attacks. This move is likely to disrupt trade and potentially impact market sentiment for Bitcoin and related cryptocurrencies.
