Boltz, a non-custodial Bitcoin swap service, has suspended its Bitcoin exchange service indefinitely and said it cannot provide a timeline for when the feature might return. The company said the service will remain offline until further notice. Boltz lets users move Bitcoin between the Lightning Network and the Bitcoin base layer without taking custody of customer funds during the process. According to the company, its infrastructure has faced a sustained rise in automated and AI-assisted probing over the past few months, and it has already handled multiple exploitation incidents. Boltz said each incident was contained, but added that attackers have been iterating faster than its team can identify and patch vulnerabilities. The pace of attacks increased over the past few days, the company said. After reviewing recent security scan results, Boltz concluded that it could not responsibly bring the swap service back online at this stage. Its API remains available for cooperative refunds, unilateral refunds still work because they do not rely on Boltz infrastructure, and customer support remains available.
