Boltz, a service enabling Bitcoin swaps between the main blockchain, Lightning Network, and Liquid sidechain, suspended all swap services on August 3, 2026, due to escalating AI-powered attacks that outpaced its security team. This sudden shutdown affected popular wallets like Aqua, Bull Bitcoin, and Zeus, which rely on Boltz’s infrastructure for Lightning swaps, causing temporary disruptions in their services. Boltz assured no customer funds were lost since it never held funds directly and users can still recover their assets independently. Wallet providers are now seeking alternative swap solutions or building redundancy to avoid future outages, while the incident highlights ongoing security challenges in the Lightning Network ecosystem, especially with AI accelerating attack methods. Boltz has not announced a timeline for service restoration.
