Trustless Swaps Across Bitcoin Layers: A Deep Dive with KaleidoSwap

Walter Maffione, CEO and co-founder of KaleidoSwap, discusses the project's evolution from an RGB Lightning DEX into a comprehensive swap engine and LSP stack. The platform facilitates swaps across Liquid, Arkade, Taproot Assets, Spark, and RGB, utilizing Lightning as the underlying rail. The discussion covers technical integrations such as HTLC atomicity, BOLT 12 multi-asset offers, and Nostr discovery, alongside a product suite including a desktop app, browser extension, and dual SDKs. The project also explores agentic payments via MCP plugins and local models with Tether’s QVAC, with a mainnet launch targeted within one to three months.
