Say adiós to per-swap refund files 👋
Say hola to the Boltz Rescue Key 🛟
At boltz.exchange, we’re dramatically simplifying swap UX: instead of downloading a new refund file for every submarine or chain swap, you’ll now only need one Boltz Rescue Key—downloaded once—and we'll never bother with downloads again 🙏
How It Works
🔑 The Boltz Rescue Key functions as master refund key, deriving a new key for every swap
🖥️ It works on any device and lets you create refunds for all swaps created with it.
⚛️All without compromising the non-custodial characteristic of Boltz Swaps.
Why It Matters
The Boltz Rescue Key reduces the risk of users misplacing individual refund files and losing access to funds locked in swaps—especially critical for web-based swaps (like boltz.exchange) that require external key backups.

As the upcoming Trump administration is gearing up to establish a regulatory landscape facilitating full-on anything-goes multicoinery, and with Gary Gensler gone, we could well see the most atrocious scam coins proliferate and soar— before they inevitably implode.

Dear beloved nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970 users,
this week was intense: 2x hardware failure, maintenance downtime to fix, today a nasty ⚡️ node crash.
Result: numerous failed swaps and support tickets
Still, all of you were patient and responded nicely to bad news.
Just... thank you! 🧡
