Network fees for Rootstock -> Lightning swaps just dropped by 50%. Before: 162 sats, Now: 81 sats 🫰 Spontaneous #Lightning payments with your RBTC balance just got even more accessible 🧡 Wen integration to allow your users to spend #Bitcoin on the go? @beexowallet @Rabby_io @EdgeWallet ELI5 of how we did this: we extended our Rootstock swap contract to allow us to claim Rootstock swaps in batches. The more swaps happen in a given time frame, the cheaper it gets. If Rootstock swap volume continues to grow, network fees may drop even more.

Announcement: Today we are making Boltz user support safer! 🛡️ Due to the dramatic increase of scammers, trying to extract mnemonics from our users via DM, we are discontinuing support via DM on all platforms. While we are keeping channels like Discord and Telegram for public discussions, everything that needs private communication, like inquiring about details of a swap, will only be processed using one of the following two communication channels: 1. Via support chat at boltz.exchange 2. Via email to hi@bol.tz This concretely means that if someone tries to make you communicate via any other communication channel, IT'S A SCAM! ⚠️ Your Boltz User Support Squad 🧡
