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.
