Exactly 7 years ago (on April 4, 2019) we launched Boltz as the world's first easy-to-use and non-custodial Bitcoin Bridge between Bitcoin and the Lightning Network 🚀

Look at this beauty 🥹

We didn't turn on you. We are here for you - just like before - or even more Bitcoin-centric now if you wish:

I am personally on a mission to bring Lightning to so many more places with this new swap type and we can do a reality check later this year.

PS: we are not FIAT rich, nor looking to be. I am sure you read the blog post and realized that this is all happening client-side - we are not touching USDT. The only thing that Boltz swaps and holds on its balance sheet is Bitcoin-denominated. Like 100%. Don't think many other companies can say that.

But then we are doing our own thing and not looking to pass any purity tests. So if we fail yours, than this saddens me, but we'll move on ✌️

This was fun!

2025-04-25T14:48:44+02:00

I want to shed some light on what's currently happening with the Internet in Spain🇪🇸

Spoiler: it's bad. Like 2010-China-bad.

Let's start with the tl;dr:
🚫A judge gave the Spanish football league (LaLiga) the power to force ISPs to block IP addresses from a list it controls

Sounds dystopian? Well that's because it absolutely is.

Here is how things went down:
In a Dec 2024 Barcelona court ruling, LaLiga was granted the right to compel ISPs (starting off with Movistar and DIGI), to block thousands of Cloudflare IP addresses because of illegal football streams.

Initial blocks started in early February 2025, with LaLiga specifically mentioning @Cloudflare but scarily also "VPNs" in a statement.

Child pornography is being thrown into the justification, just to make sure everyone is aware of who the bad guys are.

https://www.laliga.com/en-GB/news/official-statement-in-relation-to-the-blocking-of-ips-during-the-recent-ea-sports-laliga-matchdays-linked-to-illegal-cloudflare-practices

As Cloudflare IP addresses are shared between customers, since approx. 15th of Feb thousands of legitimate websites using Cloudflare are not reachable from Spain when a LaLiga match is running.

Yeah... they were so thoughtful to only block when a match is on, thank you overlords ig🙏

Cloudflare & RootedCON filed an appeal against LaLiga, asking to declare LaLiga’s blocking measures *illegal* because the IP blocking measures were disproportionate.

But corrupt Spain being corrupt Spain the judge dismissed the appeal.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CloudFlare/comments/1jke3pc/the_judge_who_authorized_cloudflares_ip_address/

Since then the blocks only expanded, because via "Dynamic Court Injunction" LaLiga can freely update the blocklist. By now, Vercel and many others are heavily impacted. Hell, Vercel and Cloudflare seem to be working together for once.

https://vercel.com/blog/update-on-spain-and-laliga-blocks-of-the-internet

But here comes the absolute worst part of it all:

While for techies it's a button press, regular ppl are heavily affected and should be INFURIATED. But.. they are not.

No protests. No law suits. Almost no coverage by legacy media. Not a topic among friends. Nothing. It's just 🤯

It feels like Spaniards gave up. "Might as well enjoy the party while it lasts" vibe.

Socialist-led dystopian control is expanding since years: bank reporting requirements, war on cash, war on #Bitcoin, protection of illegal occupants on "your" property

https://x.com/gaceta_es/status/1915061853488914709

I am not sure what my conclusion or call to action with all this is as I have very little hope for the drastic change it'd require to rescue the country to happen.

Maybe just I'll just leave it as-is: a sad and dystopian status quo of a country having its Great Firewall moment.

I'm a terrible LN node runner. Got some channels closed again, I'm too lazy to look at it and keep sufficient liquidity on my node ...

Annoying, because it meant you couldn't pay me for a Nostr badge nor consulting services at https://fits.money 😟

Luckily, I have now installed the Boltz (nprofile…aze8) plugin on my btcpayserver (nprofile…xhfg) and all of this doesn't matter, and it just works.

No channels open. You can even set it to swap to onchain automatically so it doesn't get stuck in the Liquid multisig if you don't want to.

Pretty cool how it is getting easier every couple months to just do things.

Say adiós to per-swap refund files 👋

Say hola to the Boltz Rescue Key 🛟

At boltz.exchange, we’re dramatically simplifying swap UX: instead of downloading a new refund file for every submarine or chain swap, you’ll now only need one Boltz Rescue Key—downloaded once—and we'll never bother with downloads again 🙏

How It Works

🔑 The Boltz Rescue Key functions as master refund key, deriving a new key for every swap
🖥️ It works on any device and lets you create refunds for all swaps created with it.
⚛️All without compromising the non-custodial characteristic of Boltz Swaps.

Why It Matters

The Boltz Rescue Key reduces the risk of users misplacing individual refund files and losing access to funds locked in swaps—especially critical for web-based swaps (like boltz.exchange) that require external key backups.

Network fees for Rootstock -> Lightning swaps just dropped by 50%. Before: 162 sats, Now: 81 sats 🫰

Spontaneous #Lightning payments with your RBTC balance just got even more accessible 🧡

Wen integration to allow your users to spend #Bitcoin on the go? @beexowallet @Rabby_io @EdgeWallet

ELI5 of how we did this:

we extended our Rootstock swap contract to allow us to claim Rootstock swaps in batches. The more swaps happen in a given time frame, the cheaper it gets. If Rootstock swap volume continues to grow, network fees may drop even more.

Right. I use SimpleX personally and love it but I see several issues to use this as a scalable user support communication platform: it just doesn't integrate with any support/ticket system that I am aware of hence you are either a one person support team (right now we actually are lol - me - but I have plans to change that) or things start getting messy. Also it just conflicts with the clear message that "We don't do DMs, hence all DMs are automatically a scam."

No need to use email, you can just use the chat widget on boltz.exchange. It's connected to our self-hosted Chatwoot instance and you are not exposing your communication to any third party when chatting with us ✌️
