Boltz Bitcoin bridge suspended indefinitely after attackers using AI exploited vulnerabilities faster than the team could patch them.
Security & Exploits ·
Boltz, a non-custodial Bitcoin swap service, has suspended its swaps indefinitely after saying attackers using AI-assisted methods have been discovering vulnerabilities faster than its team can patch them. The company said it has dealt with several exploits over recent months, but the pace of automated attacks accelerated in recent days, making it unsafe to continue operations. Boltz stated no user funds were at risk because the platform does not hold customer assets, and it provided no timeline for when services might resume. The suspension reflects what Boltz described as a major paradigm shift for Bitcoin infrastructure operators facing machine-speed vulnerability discovery.
