Summary

KaleidoSwap is a project that grew from an RGB Lightning DEX into a broader swap engine and LSP stack. It uses Lightning as rails between Liquid, Arkade, Taproot Assets, Spark, and RGB. The project offers KaleidoSDK, a desktop app, and a browser extension. It also describes web app and SDK integrations for merchants and unified-balance wallets. The swap design uses HTLC atomicity across layers. It includes BOLT 12 multi-asset offers and Nostr discovery for competing providers. The scope is Bitcoin-only, with Flashnet and Utexo bridges for external stables. The product lineup includes a desktop app, a browser extension, and dual SDKs. KaleidoSwap also covers agentic payments via MCP plugins and self-sovereign local models with Tether's QVAC. Fees are described as around 0.5–1%. A mainnet launch path for the extension, swap provider, and web app is described as one to three months. It also addresses defending non-custodial swaps and AI attacks after the Boltz shutdown.
