Channels And LSP Flows

Channel Operations

The channel group covers direct Lightning channel management against your local node.

Command	Purpose
`kaleido channel list`	List current channels
`kaleido channel open <peer>`	Open a channel to a peer
`kaleido channel close <channel-id>`	Close a channel

Peer arguments use pubkey@host:port format.

Open A Channel

kaleido channel open 03abc...@peer.host:9735 --capacity 100000

Notable options:

--capacity
--push-msat
--asset-id
--asset-amount
--push-asset-amount
--public or --private
--with-anchors
--fee-base-msat
--fee-proportional-millionths

Example colored channel:

kaleido channel open 03abc...@peer.host:9735 \
  --capacity 100000 \
  --asset-id rgb:abc... \
  --asset-amount 5000

LSP Channel Orders

Use channel order when you want KaleidoSwap’s LSP flow instead of manually opening a peer channel.

Subcommands

Command	Purpose
`kaleido channel order create <client-pubkey>`	Create a channel order
`kaleido channel order get <order-id>`	Fetch status and details
`kaleido channel order pay <order-id>`	Pay an order with local wallet funds
`kaleido channel order decide <order-id>`	Submit a rate decision
`kaleido channel order estimate-fees`	Estimate opening fees

Create an order

kaleido channel order create 03abc... \
  --lsp-balance 1000000 \
  --client-balance 500000

Useful options:

--confirmations
--funding-within
--expiry-blocks
--refund-address
--announce or --private
--asset-id
--lsp-asset-amount
--client-asset-amount
--email

Example colored channel order:

kaleido channel order create 03abc... \
  --lsp-balance 1000000 \
  --client-balance 500000 \
  --asset-id rgb:xyz... \
  --lsp-asset-amount 5000 \
  --client-asset-amount 2000

LSP Metadata

The lsp subgroup exposes server metadata and network details:

Command	Purpose
`kaleido channel lsp info`	Show LSP information and available options
`kaleido channel lsp network-info`	Show network metadata for the LSP

These commands are useful before creating orders or when wiring client defaults.

Practical Sequence

kaleido channel lsp info
kaleido node swap pubkey
kaleido channel order estimate-fees --lsp-balance 1000000 --client-balance 500000
kaleido channel order create 03abc... --lsp-balance 1000000 --client-balance 500000

See Market And Swaps for server-side trading flows that often run alongside channels and liquidity management.
