Bitcoin bridge Boltz has suspended its swap service indefinitely, citing a surge in AI-assisted attacks that outpaces its ability to patch vulnerabilities. The company said it dealt with several exploits over the past months, each contained, but the pace of attacks accelerated recently. Boltz, a non-custodial service allowing users to move Bitcoin between the Lightning Network and the base layer without surrendering custody, said no user funds were ever at risk.
