# Settings

> Configuring the KaleidoSwap Desktop App settings

The Settings panel is accessible from the drop-down menu in the upper right corner of the app. It lets you customize how the app connects to your node and how amounts are displayed.

## LSP URL

**What it does:** Sets the URL of the Lightning Service Provider your node connects to for channel liquidity and swap routing.

**When to change it:** The default LSP is pre-configured and works for most users. You may want to change this if:

* You are running your own LSP
* Your preferred LSP has a different URL
* The default LSP is unreachable

To update:

1. Open **Settings**
2. Locate the **Default LSP URL** field
3. Enter the new URL provided by your LSP
4. Click **Save**

## Bitcoin Unit

**What it does:** Controls how Bitcoin amounts are displayed throughout the app.

* **BTC** — displays amounts as decimal Bitcoin (e.g., 0.001 BTC)
* **Sats** — displays amounts as satoshis, the smallest unit (e.g., 100,000 sats)

**When to change it:** If you find decimal amounts hard to read for small transactions, switching to sats can reduce confusion and eliminate leading zeros.

## Node Connection String

**What it does:** Specifies the RGB Lightning Node (RLN) that the app connects to for all wallet, channel, and payment operations.

**When to change it:** By default the app manages a built-in node. Change this setting if:

* You are connecting to a remote or self-hosted RGB Lightning Node
* You want to switch between different node instances

<Note>
  Changing the node connection string will reconnect the app to a different node. Make sure the target node is running and accessible before saving.

## Backup
