This week we pushed out releases with some cool new features: Here is the tl;dr 👇
* 0-amount chain swaps: you can now create chain-to-chain swaps completely without specifying an amount OR when you accidentally sent a different amount from what you specified before, you can now simply accept a new quote instead of having the swap fail 👊
* Proof of Payment: there are dispute situations where you'd like to prove to the receiver that your Lightning payment was successful. Luckily, Lightning has a cryptographic Proof of Payment system built in! BUT, so far it hasn't been used widely as there is simply no practicable way to do so. We are trying to change this, by linking successful Boltz Lightning payments to an external neutral tool that does a very simple cryptogrpahic check and verifies that a payment's so-called "preimage", which is released only when a Lightning payment is successful, matches a given invoice. This amazing tool was built by Roy from Breez_tech (npub1jug…fc28), we encourage others to check it out: 👉 validate-payment.com 👈
* add chatwoot support chat integration: our web app now features a live-chat integration for help/customer support 💬
