  title: Kaleidoswap RGB-LSP API
  summary: Public KaleidoSwap Maker API contract
  description: >-
    Public Maker API for KaleidoSwap market data, quotes, atomic swaps, and RGB
    LSPS1

    channel operations.


    Maker endpoints support Bearer API-key authentication. During rollout,

    deployments may accept anonymous requests while attribution is collected;
    once

    API-key enforcement is enabled, requests without a valid `kld_...` key
    return

    `401`.


    Use the per-order `access_token` returned by LSPS1 channel-order creation
    when

    polling protected order status endpoints or submitting a rate decision after
    the

    maker requests client confirmation.
