BTC Bitcoin bridge platform Boltz disables Bitcoin swaps and suspends services indefinitely
Bitcoin bridge platform Boltz has disabled Bitcoin swaps and suspends services indefinitely due to AI-assisted attacks on its infrastructure. The move cuts off a common path for transferring Bitcoin through the platform, and users cannot know the exact time when the service will be restored.
Boltz's instructions on banning Bitcoin swaps
Boltz confirmed the change through his official X account, and the team announced that the swap feature has been offline. On Boltz,"swaps" refer to the transfer of Bitcoin between different layers or networks through bridges, so disabling this feature means that affected routes lose this transfer channel. The suspension is not a planned maintenance, but is suspended indefinitely. According to reports, the bridging platform attributed the decision to an AI-assisted attack.
Key information to know
Announcement: Boltz disables Bitcoin swaps and suspends services indefinitely.
Immediate impact: The affected swap routes are not available and the recovery time is uncertain.
Importance of this to users
After swaps are disabled, users can no longer initiate new Bitcoin transfers through Boltz's affected path until the service is restored. This suspension is aimed at the swap function itself, not the overall Bitcoin market, so it is an interruption at the operational level of the platform. Boltz characterized the suspension as a defensive response to the attack, consistent with his previous position of disabling the Lightning Internet Swap service after encountering a vulnerability and stating that user funds were safe. The current pause extends this caution to Bitcoin swaps.
Boltz released the update directly on X. The following is the team's official statement.

Follow-up focus
Boltz did not give a timetable for resuming the swap function, and the team's update on X said the suspension was indefinite. Users who rely on this bridge should pay attention to their official channels to understand the conditions or signals for reactivating the service before attempting a new swap. The situation is still developing. Until Boltz confirms that the attack is under control and resumes swapping functions, the affected functions will remain offline with no clear recovery date.
