We review today's wave of bitcoin service outages due to Boltz going offline under a barrage of AI-assisted attacks.

We explore how a decentralized swap network could work, dusting off the old TBDex whitepaper from @blocks and updating its concepts to Nostr.

We introduce NIP-MKT, a Nostr protocol for negotiated markets including swaps and more: https://t.co/5hRJvPx8bC

We are building NIP-MKT and swap support into our new hardened Nostr relay called Immortal: https://t.co/pN1sGCDjN8

This will enable the services Boltz provided to be decentralized across a permissionless global provider network.

AI-assisted attacks will only increase, risking overwhelm of any centralized service providers.

Now is the time to aggressively decentralize to neutral, bitcoin-adjacent, permissionless infrastructure.

Nostr is ready and so are we.
