JAN3 temporarily disabled the forward swaps of Indra, its new Bitcoin swap service, following a denial-of-service (DoS) attack that occurred hours after the service's open beta launch on September 15, 2026. The attack targeted JAN3's swap infrastructure but did not impact the Bitcoin or Lightning Network protocols. Existing swaps may experience delays as the team investigates the incident. This event highlights ongoing concerns regarding the resilience of service providers in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, particularly as DDoS attacks become more frequent.
