Information about pending swaps is stored persistently in the swap database.
Its location is `~/.loopd/<network>/loop.db`.
## Transport security
## Authentication and transport security
The gRPC and REST connections of `loopd` are encrypted with TLS the same way
`lnd` is.
The gRPC and REST connections of `loopd` are encrypted with TLS and secured with
macaroon authentication the same way `lnd` is.
If no custom loop directory is set then the TLS certificate is stored in
`~/.loopd/<network>/tls.cert`.
`~/.loop/<network>/tls.cert` and the base macaroon in
`~/.loop/<network>/loop.macaroon`.
The `loop` command will pick up the file automatically on mainnet if no custom
The `loop` command will pick up these file automatically on mainnet if no custom
loop directory is used. For other networks it should be sufficient to add the
`--network` flag to tell the CLI in what sub directory to look for the files.
For more information on macaroons,
[see the macaroon documentation of lnd.](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/macaroons.md)
**NOTE**: Loop's macaroons are independent from `lnd`'s. The same macaroon
cannot be used for both `loopd` and `lnd`.
## Multiple Simultaneous Swaps
It is possible to execute multiple swaps simultaneously. Just keep loopd
