Worth separating two things here: Boltz getting hit doesn't say much about Lightning itself, it says something about custodial swap services. Same way an exchange hack isn't a Bitcoin outage. The protocol layer kept settling blocks and routing payments the whole time. Different failure domain, different lesson.

Boltz is not a custodial swap service.

Yes. Crucially no user funds were lost, because it's all self-custodial.

As I underlined in the piece, I think it rather says something about the current asymmetry for open source software.
