Boltz is shutting down swaps until further notice.
They've been hit by multiple AI-assisted exploits and say attackers are now iterating faster than their team can patch.
No user funds lost.
The asymmetry here is the real story: AI lets attackers iterate exploit variants in parallel at near-zero marginal cost, while patching still requires human review, testing, and deployment cycles. This is the same dynamic hitting bridges and smart contract protocols broadly — defense needs to shift toward formal verification and circuit breakers that trigger on anomaly detection, not just reactive patching after each new variant.
