This Bitcoin Bridge Shut Itself Down Because AI Was Finding Bugs Too Fast

Non-custodial Bitcoin swap provider Boltz says attackers are finding vulnerabilities faster than its team can fix them, forcing it to suspend swaps indefinitely.

  • This incident highlights a broader trend in the cryptocurrency industry where AI is rapidly changing the landscape of both cyberattacks and defense mechanisms for blockchain infrastructure.
