Frequently Asked Questions

The first closed beta targets Chromium-based browsers such as Google Chrome, Brave, Microsoft Edge, and Opera through Developer Mode installation from a private beta zip. Firefox support may be tested separately when a Firefox build is provided. Safari is not yet supported.
Invited testers receive a personal download link from the KaleidoSwap team, of the form https://kaleidoswap.com/dl?t=...; it always serves the latest beta build. The extension is not listed in browser stores yet, and the source repository is not public yet, so closed beta testers should install only the zip served by their personal download link.
No. Spark, Arkade, Liquid, and node-less RGB-L1 accounts are all derived from the KaleidoSwap Extension recovery phrase and run without any node — including RGB assets on Bitcoin L1, which run entirely in the extension via WebAssembly.An RGB Lightning Node (RLN) is only needed if you want RGB Lightning channels and maker-based RGB swaps. For RLN features, you can connect to:Note that the node-less RGB-L1 account and the RLN account are mutually exclusive backings for RGB assets.
No. The KaleidoSwap Extension stores the wallet mnemonic encrypted locally and derives protocol accounts from it. For optional RLN use, the extension connects to the node you configure.
No. Swap venues are optional. Without them:
  • Send, receive, and balance features work normally
  • Only the swap feature is disabled
The KaleidoSwap Extension supports:
  • BTC across Spark, Arkade, Liquid (L-BTC), Bitcoin L1, and RLN Lightning where connected
  • Spark-native assets when available on the Spark account
  • Arkade-native assets when available on the Arkade account
  • Liquid assets such as USDt on the Liquid account
  • RGB assets on Bitcoin L1 through the node-less RGB-L1 account, or over Lightning when an RGB Lightning Node is connected
Go to Settings > Backup Wallet to reveal and copy your recovery phrase after re-entering your password. The same screen also covers RGB backup guidance for the node-less account.Keep separate offline copies of:
  • Your KaleidoSwap Extension recovery phrase for Spark, Arkade, Liquid, RGB-L1, and the derived Nostr identity
  • A recent RGB node backup file if you use an RGB Lightning Node
  • Your RLN node seed phrase or node backup material if the node is managed separately
The node-less RGB-L1 account backs itself up automatically to an encrypted cloud (VSS) backup after wallet activity such as sends, receives, and UTXO changes. A local encrypted backup file can also be exported manually from the backup screen. When you re-import the wallet, onboarding offers to restore from the cloud backup — restore only happens with your explicit consent.
The KaleidoSwap Extension cannot recover your password. If you forget it, you will need to:
  1. Uninstall and reinstall the extension
  2. Import your recovery phrase
  3. Set up a new password
  4. Reconnect optional services such as your RGB Lightning Node
Spark, Arkade, Liquid, and the derived Nostr identity are recoverable from the recovery phrase, and node-less RGB-L1 state can be restored from its cloud (VSS) backup during onboarding. RGB Lightning Node state must be recovered from the node’s own backup material.
The KaleidoSwap Extension manages Spark, Arkade, Liquid, RGB-L1, and optional RLN accounts. For RLN, connect one node endpoint at a time (direct URL or NWC).
The KaleidoSwap Extension automatically locks after a period of inactivity (default: 10 minutes). When locked, you must enter your password to unlock. Configure the timeout in Settings > Security.
Yes. Trusted DApps can request wallet actions through the KaleidoSwap Extension’s browser provider. Review each connection, payment, asset, or signing request before approving it.
