Today, Boltz announced the launch of the Boltz BTCPay Plugin, the first feature of its kind, in open beta. The plugin lets merchants who use BTCPay Server easily accept bitcoin over Lightning before having it automatically swapped and stored non-custodially on the Liquid Network.
The “Nodeless” mode for the Boltz BTCPay Plugin utilizes Liquid Swaps to make the automatic swap from Lightning to Liquid the instant a Lightning invoice is paid. Using Liquid Swaps, Boltz BTCPay Plugin users can also swap bitcoin back to the mainchain if they prefer. The plugin comes with an integrated wallet system, which enables users to create or import both Liquid and mainchain wallets.
“Merchants can receive or accept bitcoin by swapping incoming Lightning payments into their Liquid wallets and, like this, they don’t have to operate a node,” Kilian, CEO of Boltz, told Bitcoin Magazine.
“What they are holding in the end is LBTC — Liquid BTC,” he added.
“We also want to give them an option to automatically swap back to the mainchain if they so choose. They can say, ‘Okay, if my Liquid Bitcoin balance reaches 0.1 bitcoin, 0.5 bitcoin, swap it back to the mainchain.’”
Merchants remain in control of their funds at all times while using the service.
Boltz designed the plugin to help alleviate the anxiety that comes with running and managing a Lightning node.
“Running and managing a Lightning node is no easy feat,” said Boltz CTO Michael in a press release. “Channel management is complex and inbound liquidity can be such an alien concept”.
Kilian echoed Michael’s sentiment, as he shared that “running your own Lightning node is neither a realistic nor recommended goal for many individuals, and even for professionals like merchants, as of today.”
Previous solutions for accepting Lightning payments without running a node were custodial, introduced counterparty risk or were only available in certain jurisdictions.
Given that this plugin is both brand new and the first of its kind, the team at Boltz noted that while the software is ready to be used, users should do so with caution because it could still have bugs. However, Kilian shared that the plugin indeed has handled thousands of transactions and that Strainly, a marketplace for hemp growers, is now completely running on it.
“After one month testing the Boltz plugin in front of thousands of users, I can tell this truly is a game-changer,” said Alan, CEO of Strainly, who previously had mixed success using custodial Lightning solutions like LNBank and other Lightning Service Providers (LSPs) “Processing LN payments straight to and from a non-custodial Liquid wallet, plus automatically consolidating the Liquid balance to my non-custodial BTC wallet according to my own preset threshold: hands down the most impactful plugin ever released on BTCPay!”

Bitcoin Swap Service Boltz Launches BTCPay Server Plugin For Lightning Payments

今天，Boltz 宣布推出 Boltz BTCPay 插件，这是同类产品中的第一个功能，目前处于公开测试阶段。该插件让使用 BTCPay Server 的商家能够通过闪电网络轻松接受比特币，然后将其自动兑换并非托管地存储在 Liquid 网络上。
Boltz BTCPay 插件的“无节点”模式利用 Liquid Swaps 在支付 Lightning 发票时立即自动从 Lightning 兑换为 Liquid。使用 Liquid Swaps，Boltz BTCPay 插件用户还可以根据需要将比特币兑换回主链。该插件带有集成钱包系统，使用户可以创建或导入 Liquid 和主链钱包。
Boltz 首席执行官 Kilian 告诉比特币杂志：“商家可以通过将传入的闪电支付交换到他们的 Liquid 钱包中来接收或接受比特币，这样他们就不必操作节点了。”
他补充道：“他们最终持有的是 LBTC——Liquid BTC 。”
“我们还想为他们提供一个选项，如果他们愿意的话，可以自动换回主链。他们可以说，‘好吧，如果我的 Liquid Bitcoin 余额达到 0.1 比特币、0.5 比特币，就把它换回主链。’”
商家在使用该服务时始终能够控制自己的资金。
Boltz 设计该插件是为了帮助缓解运行和管理闪电节点带来的焦虑。
Boltz 首席技术官 Michael 在一份新闻稿中表示：“运行和管理闪电节点绝非易事。渠道管理很复杂，入站流动性可能是一个陌生的概念”。
Kilian 赞同 Michael 的观点，他表示“截至目前，对于许多个人，甚至对于商家这样的专业人士来说，运行自己的闪电节点既不是一个现实的目标，也不值得推荐。”
以前无需运行节点即可接受闪电支付的解决方案是托管式的、引入交易对手风险的或仅在某些司法管辖区可用的。
鉴于这款插件既是全新的，也是同类产品中的第一个，Boltz 团队指出，虽然该软件已准备好使用，但用户应谨慎使用，因为它可能仍然存在错误。然而，Kilian 分享说，该插件确实处理了数千笔交易，大麻种植者市场 Strainly 现在完全依靠它运行。
“在数千名用户面前测试 Boltz 插件一个月后，我可以说这确实是一个游戏规则改变者，”Strainly 首席执行官 Alan 表示，他之前使用 LNBank 和其他闪电服务提供商 (LSP) 等托管闪电解决方案取得了好坏参半的成功“直接处理往返于非托管 Liquid 钱包的 LN 付款，并根据我自己预设的Threshold自动将 Liquid 余额合并到我的非托管BTC钱包：毫无疑问，这是 BTCPay 上发布的最具影响力的插件！”

今天,<a href="https://boltz.exchange/" rel="nofollow">Boltz</a>宣布推出Boltz BTCPay插件的开放测试版,这是该类功能的首次推出。该插件使用<a href="https://liquid.net/" rel="nofollow">Liquid Network</a>上的非托管方式,让使用BTCPay Server的商家轻松接受闪电网络上的比特币支付,并自动进行兑换。

"无节点"模式下的Boltz BTCPay插件利用<a href="https://blog.boltz.exchange/p/launching-liquid-swaps-unfairly-cheap" rel="nofollow">Liquid Swaps</a>技术,在闪电网络发票付款的同时自动将其兑换为Liquid上的资产。使用Liquid Swaps,Boltz BTCPay插件用户也可以将比特币兑换回主链。该插件配有集成钱包系统,用户可以创建或导入Liquid和主链钱包。

"商家可以通过将收到的闪电网络付款兑换到他们的Liquid钱包来接受比特币,这样他们就不需要运行节点,"Boltz CEO Kilian告诉《比特币杂志》。"他们最终持有的是LBTC - Liquid BTC。"

"我们还想给他们一个选择,如果Liquid比特币余额达到一定数量,可以自动兑换回主链。"

在使用该服务时,商家始终对资金保有控制权。

Boltz设计这个插件的目的是帮助缓解运行和管理闪电节点的焦虑。"运行和管理闪电节点并非易事,"Boltz CTO Michael在新闻稿中说,"通道管理很复杂,入站流动性也是一个陌生的概念"。

Kilian也表达了同样的观点,"对许多个人来说,运行自己的闪电节点既不现实也不被推荐,即使对于像商家这样的专业人士来说,至今也是如此。"

之前没有运行节点就接受闪电网络付款的解决方案要么是托管的,引入了对手方风险,要么只在某些司法管辖区可用。

由于这个插件是全新的,而且是首创,Boltz团队指出,虽然软件已经可以使用,但用户应该谨慎使用,因为它可能仍存在bug。不过,Kilian表示,该插件已经处理了数千笔交易,现在<a href="https://strainly.io/" rel="nofollow">Strainly</a>这个大麻种植者市场已完全在使用它。

"在数千名用户面前测试了一个月的Boltz插件后,我可以说这确实是一个游戏规则改变者,"Strainly CEO Alan说,"直接将闪电网络付款处理到非托管的Liquid钱包,并根据自己设定的阈值自动将Liquid余额合并到非托管的BTC钱包:这无疑是有史以来发布在BTCPay上最有影响力的插件!"
