After creating your wallet, you must unlock your node each time you open the KaleidoSwap Desktop App. This is done using the password you set during node initialization.

​
Quick Unlock Flow

  1. Open the App
    Launch the KaleidoSwap Desktop App.
  2. Select Your Account
    Choose the account associated with the node you want to use.
  3. Run the Node
    Start the node from the account dashboard.
    If the node is locked, the unlock screen will appear automatically.
  4. Enter Your Password
    Type the password you used when initializing the node into the password input field.     Wallet unlock screen with password field in the KaleidoSwap Desktop App

Node Sync Before Unlocking

After entering the correct password, the node will begin syncing with the blockchain before it becomes fully accessible.
The duration of this process depends on how many blocks need to be synced, which varies based on how long the node has been offline.
Please be patient while the node completes this step. Loading animation while the RGB Lightning Node unlocks

Understanding Unlock Parameters

  • Password
    Secures access to your wallet and node. This is the same password you set during the initial node setup.
  • Network
    The network is fixed when the account is created — it is not chosen at unlock. The unlock screen simply connects to the account’s configured network (e.g. Regtest, Signet, Mutinynet or Testnet).
  • Advanced Settings
    These settings are taken from the node’s account configuration. Adjust them in the toolbar if needed before unlocking:
    • RPC authentication for Bitcoin Core
    • Electrum indexer address
    • RGB proxy and port settings for communication with the RGB Lightning Node
