Notes and record state

Record note
Boltz is classified as hybrid because it provides operator-backed swap infrastructure while using non-custodial atomic-swap mechanics. It is inactive rather than dead because the operator has not announced a permanent shutdown or terminal date. The August 2026 notice states that all swaps remain disabled until further notice, while the API remains available for cooperative refunds, non-cooperative refunds remain possible, and support remains reachable. The operator stated that no user funds had been at risk.
