About Kaleidoswap
Kaleidoswap is a multi-protocol decentralized trading platform for the Bitcoin ecosystem, aggregating protocols such as the Lightning Network, RGB, and Spark into one unified trading interface. Users can complete asset swaps from that interface without touching each protocol's command-line tools; cross-protocol transfers are settled through atomic swaps, so counterparties do not need to trust each other.
The platform charges a one percent protocol fee on trades. Its product forms cover desktop, browser, and mobile, letting users pick the entry point that fits their habits. All clients share the same trading logic, and interface differences are mainly reflected in interaction style. Kaleidoswap's design goal is to gather the fragmented state between Bitcoin layer protocols into a single operating path, so swapping RGB assets for other assets feels like an ordinary transfer.
On May 11, 2026, Kaleidoswap released browser extension v0.1.0 mainnet beta, the first closed beta of its self-custodial Bitcoin and stablecoin wallet; it runs on the Spark and Arkade mainnets by default and supports trustless swaps on Spark, USDB purchases and yield, and cross-chain bridging.
On May 25, Kaleidoswap's RGB Lightning Node was upgraded to v0.7.0. That same month the team advanced the Mosaik covenant DEX, built across three settlement rails - Liquid Tapscript, Arkade and Simplicity - began integrating Liquid as a second settlement venue, and launched a Partner Admin Panel for SDK integrators.
Future strategy and roadmap: The team plans to ship a three-part suite in 2026 - the KaleidoSwap SDK, the browser extension and a WebApp, with the WebApp going to mainnet in early 2026; the extension will later add passkey login, WDK integration, Liquid support, RGB mainnet, LNURL and WebLN, and Nostr login.

Emile Jellinek joined KaleidoSwap as Chief Growth Officer (CGO) in April 2026, marking a key addition to the team.

Kaleidoswap charges a 1% protocol fee on successful swaps, failed swaps incur no fees at all, and users also pay standard Lightning Network routing fees.
