Building a for-profit company on an open-sourced stack is like throwing a big party with lots of friends.
Then you realize most didn’t bring drinks and some came to steal the towels 🙄
In the end it's all about execution tho. And that's what makes me confident 😎

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 ✌️

I 🧡 this release as it solves one of the most pressing support case issues:

Now you can simply pick it back up using only your rescue key 🚀

How it works: If you are swapping e.g. from Bitcoin -> Lightning and the receiver is a Boltz-powered wallet like Aqua, Bull or Breez Nodeless SDK, Boltz Web App is now able to detect this and switch to a direct Bitcoin -> Liquid swap

The only thing I know: the solution won't be legal or political. It'll be technical. Improve censorship resistance at all levels. Normalization of second layer ISPs (VPNs), finally fully adopting IPv6 all this is part of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-geGEYEw7g is a must watch.

2025-04-25 12:48:44 UTC

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.
