Boltzhq shuts down as new team moves to restart service

Boltzhq has shut down after its five-person team was overwhelmed by increasingly complex AI-assisted attacks, according to Bitcoin News, as cited by ChainCatcher. The report says a group of experienced Bitcoin users will take over the service with fresh capital and added engineering resources. The founder has stepped down, and the platform remains offline for now. A new team is working to bring the service back online. The update centers on an operational handover rather than an immediate relaunch, with the service still unavailable at the time of the report.

Boltz suspends swap service indefinitely after reporting AI-assisted attacks

Boltzhq has suspended its swap service indefinitely after reporting a rise in AI-assisted attacks and several exploit attempts that it said were already contained. The company said user funds were never at risk because the platform uses a non-custodial design. Still, the suspension has disrupted services for wallets that rely on Boltz for Lightning Network swaps. Those affected include AquaBitcoin and BULLBITCOIN, which are facing interruptions while alternative infrastructure is being deployed. The update points to operational strain on dependent services even though Boltz said customer assets were not exposed.
