Boltz
Boltz is a non-custodial Bitcoin bridge that atomically swaps between Lightning, Bitcoin L1, Liquid, Rootstock, and USDC.
What is Boltz?
Boltz is a non-custodial Bitcoin bridge that uses atomic swaps to move value across Bitcoin layers. Users swap between the Lightning Network, Bitcoin mainchain, Liquid, and Rootstock without an account or KYC, with Boltz covering Lightning routing fees. A CCTP integration also enables direct Bitcoin to USDC swaps across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, and other Circle-supported networks. Fees are a small percentage plus on-chain miner costs.
