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 宣佈推出 Boltz BTCPay 插件，這是同類產品中的第一個功能，目前處於公開測試階段。該插件讓使用 BTCPay Server 的商家能夠通過閃電網絡輕鬆接受比特幣，然後將其自動兌換並非託管地存儲在 Liquid 網絡上。
Boltz BTCPay 插件的“無節點”模式利用 Liquid Swaps 在支付 Lightning 發票時立即自動從 Lightning 兌換為 Liquid。使用 Liquid Swaps，Boltz BTCPay 插件用戶還可以根據需要將比特幣兌換回主鏈。該插件帶有集成錢包系統，使用戶可以創建或導入 Liquid 和主鏈錢包。
Boltz 首席執行官 Kilian 告訴比特幣雜誌：“商家可以通過將傳入的閃電支付交換到他們的 Liquid 錢包中來接收或接受比特幣，這樣他們就不必操作節點了。”
他補充道：“他們最終持有的是 LBTC——Liquid BTC 。”
“我們還想為他們提供一個選項，如果他們願意的話，可以自動換回主鏈。他們可以說，‘好吧，如果我的 Liquid Bitcoin 餘額達到 0.1 比特幣、0.5 比特幣，就把它換回主鏈。’”
商家在使用該服務時始終能夠控制自己的資金。
Boltz 設計該插件是為了幫助緩解運行和管理閃電節點帶來的焦慮。
Boltz 首席技術官 Michael 在一份新聞稿中表示：“運行和管理閃電節點絕非易事。渠道管理很複雜，入站流動性可能是一個陌生的概念”。
Kilian 贊同 Michael 的觀點，他表示“截至目前，對於許多個人，甚至對於商家這樣的專業人士來說，運行自己的閃電節點既不是一個現實的目標，也不值得推薦。”
以前無需運行節點即可接受閃電支付的解決方案是託管式的、引入交易對手風險的或僅在某些司法管轄區可用的。
鑑於這款插件既是全新的，也是同類產品中的第一個，Boltz 團隊指出，雖然該軟件已準備好使用，但用戶應謹慎使用，因為它可能仍然存在錯誤。然而，Kilian 分享說，該插件確實處理了數千筆交易，大麻種植者市場 Strainly 現在完全依靠它運行。
“在數千名用戶面前測試 Boltz 插件一個月後，我可以說這確實是一個遊戲規則改變者，”Strainly 首席執行官 Alan 表示，他之前使用 LNBank 和其他閃電服務提供商 (LSP) 等託管閃電解決方案取得了好壞參半的成功“直接處理往返於非託管 Liquid 錢包的 LN 付款，並根據我自己預設的Threshold自動將 Liquid 餘額合併到我的非託管BTC錢包：毫無疑問，這是 BTCPay 上發佈的最具影響力的插件！”

今天,<a href="https://boltz.exchange/" rel="nofollow">Boltz</a>宣佈推出Boltz BTCPay外掛的開放測試版,這是該類功能的首次推出。該外掛使用<a href="https://liquid.net/" rel="nofollow">Liquid Network</a>上的非託管方式,讓使用BTCPay Server的商家輕鬆接受閃電網路上的比特幣支付,並自動進行兌換。

"無節點"模式下的Boltz BTCPay外掛利用<a href="https://blog.boltz.exchange/p/launching-liquid-swaps-unfairly-cheap" rel="nofollow">Liquid Swaps</a>技術,在閃電網路發票付款的同時自動將其兌換為Liquid上的資產。使用Liquid Swaps,Boltz BTCPay外掛使用者也可以將比特幣兌換回主鏈。該外掛配有整合錢包系統,使用者可以建立或匯入Liquid和主鏈錢包。

"商家可以透過將收到的閃電網路付款兌換到他們的Liquid錢包來接受比特幣,這樣他們就不需要執行節點,"Boltz CEO Kilian告訴《比特幣雜誌》。"他們最終持有的是LBTC - Liquid BTC。"

"我們還想給他們一個選擇,如果Liquid比特幣餘額達到一定數量,可以自動兌換回主鏈。"

在使用該服務時,商家始終對資金保有控制權。

Boltz設計這個外掛的目的是幫助緩解執行和管理閃電節點的焦慮。"執行和管理閃電節點並非易事,"Boltz CTO Michael在新聞稿中說,"通道管理很複雜,入站流動性也是一個陌生的概念"。

Kilian也表達了同樣的觀點,"對許多個人來說,執行自己的閃電節點既不現實也不被推薦,即使對於像商家這樣的專業人士來說,至今也是如此。"

之前沒有執行節點就接受閃電網路付款的解決方案要麼是託管的,引入了對手方風險,要麼只在某些司法管轄區可用。

由於這個外掛是全新的,而且是首創,Boltz團隊指出,雖然軟體已經可以使用,但使用者應該謹慎使用,因為它可能仍存在bug。不過,Kilian表示,該外掛已經處理了數千筆交易,現在<a href="https://strainly.io/" rel="nofollow">Strainly</a>這個大麻種植者市場已完全在使用它。

"在數千名使用者面前測試了一個月的Boltz外掛後,我可以說這確實是一個遊戲規則改變者,"Strainly CEO Alan說,"直接將閃電網路付款處理到非託管的Liquid錢包,並根據自己設定的閾值自動將Liquid餘額合併到非託管的BTC錢包:這無疑是有史以來發布在BTCPay上最有影響力的外掛!"
