Trustless Swaps Across Bitcoin Layers | Walter Maffione SLP772

Walter Maffione, CEO and co-founder of KaleidoSwap, join me to
explain how the project grew from an RGB Lightning DEX into a
broader swap engine and LSP stack — Lightning as rails between
Liquid, Arkade, Taproot Assets, Spark, and RGB — plus KaleidoSDK,
desktop app, and browser Extension.

We dig into web app and SDK integrations for merchants and
unified-balance wallets, how HTLC atomicity works across layers,
BOLT 12 multi-asset offers and Nostr discovery for competing
providers, Bitcoin-only scope with Flashnet and Utexo bridges for
external stables, and a product lineup of desktop app, browser
extension, and dual SDKs.

Walter also covers agentic payments via MCP plugins,
self-sovereign local models with Tether’s QVAC, fee ranges around
0.5–1%, and a one-to-three-month mainnet launch path for the
extension, swap provider, and web app.
