Boltz
Boltz is a non-custodial Bitcoin bridge that lets users swap between different Bitcoin layers (on-chain, Lightning Network, Liquid, Rootstock) and stablecoins like USDT, using atomic swap cryptography so users always retain control of their funds. It serves individual self-custodial Bitcoin users as well as businesses, wallets, and node operators that integrate its swap infrastructure.

Boltz BTCPay Plugin
Project Links
Description
Boltz BTCPay Plugin is a non-custodial plugin for BTCPay Server that lets merchants accept Lightning Network payments without needing to run their own Lightning node. Merchants install the plugin on their BTCPay Server, connect an external wallet or create a new one, and can then accept Lightning payments that auto-settle to mainchain Bitcoin. It is powered by Boltz Atomic Swaps and leverages Liquid Taproot Swaps for low fees and increased privacy, with configurable autoswap-to-mainchain-Bitcoin settings. The plugin is built for merchants who want flexibility and full control over their funds without operating Lightning infrastructure themselves, while staying fully non-custodial. It is developed by Boltz, documented at btcpay.docs.boltz.exchange, and open-sourced on GitHub as BoltzExchange/boltz-btcpay-plugin.Category: Payments Infrastructure

Description
Boltz Client is a swap daemon product from Boltz aimed at professional Lightning node operators and enterprises needing server-side integrations and liquidity management. It provides a built-in wallet system and a comprehensive API/CLI (boltzcli) so operators can monitor, control, and automate swaps directly from the command line or their own applications, including an 'autoswap' feature for automated channel rebalancing with customizable thresholds and settlement preferences. Key features include Taproot-first swap support for enhanced efficiency and privacy, node-agnostic compatibility giving first-class support to both CLN and LND, and Liquid-first optimization for low-fee, fast channel rebalancing. It targets enterprises and professional node runners looking to add automated swap and liquidity management capabilities to their Bitcoin Lightning infrastructure.Category: Node Software
Boltz Pro
Project Links
Description
Boltz Pro is a non-custodial platform from Team Boltz that lets professional users earn sats by executing swaps that help rebalance Boltz's liquidity. Users are paid (via better-than-regular fees) for swapping in directions that reduce Boltz's excess liquidity, effectively earning sats instead of paying regular Boltz fees. The product can be accessed three ways: a web app for monitoring and executing swap opportunities, a Boltz Client for full automation via API & CLI, and chat bots (Telegram and SimpleX) that deliver instant alerts on new earn opportunities. Boltz Pro is aimed at Lightning node operators wanting to decrease excess inbound liquidity, professionals collaborating with external node operators to manage liquidity, and users topping up Lightning wallets within routing limits. It is explicitly not designed for everyday Lightning payments, payments to destinations with high routing fees, or use cases requiring guaranteed instant settlement.Category: Market Maker
