Boltz shut down all Bitcoin swap services on August 3, saying attackers now iterate faster than a small team can patch. It's the clearest AI-vs-defense story I've seen in this space yet. Boltz is the non-custodial swap provider connecting Bitcoin mainchain, Lightning, and Liquid, used as backend infrastructure by ZEUS, Aqua, and Bull Bitcoin. On August 3 they pulled the plug on everything, not because of a breach, nobody lost funds since they never hold custody, but because they said months of AI-assisted probing had escalated to a pace their small team couldn't keep patching against. Their statement was blunt: "Attackers now iterate faster than a team our size can find and patch. This is not a response to a single incident." Three wallets lost swap functionality within hours with basically no warning. Blockstream announced Blockstream Swaps a week later, on August 10, clearly moving to fill the gap.
