Boltz

Following the suspension of Boltz, Blocksteam is debuting a feature allowing trustless NewsCapsule swaps.

NewsCapsule remains pseudonymous by design, but real-world threats from exchanges and data leaks demand stronger protections. Experts highlight Sparrow Wallet, Bisq, and Boltz as key 2026 solutions for on-chain and off-chain privacy.

Boltz today enabled trustless NewsCapsule-to-USDC swaps using Circle’s CCTP, allowing instant movement between NewsCapsule layers including Lightning and the regulated stablecoin accepted by Stripe, Coinbase, Visa, and global institutions — without accounts or custody.

Boltz Exchange today introduced atomic, non-custodial swaps enabling direct Lightning Network sats to USDT0 on Arbitrum, powered by LayerZero's OFT standard for seamless, risk-free bridging.

Kilian of Boltz reveals exclusive details on bridging NewsCapsule's onchain, Lightning, Liquid, and Rootstock layers without trust, amid high-fee environments driving adoption.

I look forward to earning some sats in a non-custodial manner for helping Boltz manage its liquidity.

The Boltz NCPay Plugin enables merchants using NCPay Server to accept Lightning payments non-custodially and transfer these funds to the Liquid sidechain.

Boltz co-founder and CEO Kilian and his team have created an easy-to-use, non-custodial solution for moving bitcoin between the base chain, Lightning and Liquid.
