Odaily Planet Daily News Bitcoin News posted on X platform stating that Boltz has updated its PGP-signed warrant canary, a transparency measure used by privacy-related companies to publicly indicate that they have not received any secret government orders requiring them to hand over user data.
The company's previous canary was dated May 31. Although it promised to update every 60 days, the canary expired around July 30. Its notice had asked users to "assume the worst" if it was not updated.
Boltz stated that the expiration was due to negligence, as its team was dealing with an AI-assisted infrastructure attack that lasted for months, which ultimately led to the indefinite suspension of its swap services.
The warrant canary has now been updated. Boltz stated that since the platform operates in a non-custodial model, user funds were never at risk.
