lightning-askrene-create-channel -- Command to add a channel to layer (EXPERIMENTAL)

SYNOPSIS

askrene-create-channel layer source destination short_channel_id capacity_msat htlc_min htlc_max base_fee proportional_fee delay

DESCRIPTION

WARNING: experimental, so API may change.

The askrene-create-channel RPC command tells askrene to populate one direction of a channel in the given layer. If the channel already exists, it will be overridden. If the layer does not exist, it will be created.

  • layer (string): The name of the layer to apply this change to.
  • source (pubkey): The source node id for the channel.
  • destination (pubkey): The destination node id for the channel.
  • short_channel_id (short_channel_id): The short channel id for the channel. If a channel with this short channel id already exists in layer, the source, destination and capacity_msat must be the same.
  • capacity_msat (msat): The capacity (onchain size) of the channel.
  • htlc_min (msat): The minimum value allowed in this direction.
  • htlc_max (msat): The maximum value allowed in this direction.
  • base_fee (msat): The base fee to apply to use the channel in this direction.
  • proportional_fee (u32): The proportional fee (in parts per million) to apply to use the channel in this direction.
  • delay (u16): The CLTV delay required for this direction.

RETURN VALUE

On success, an empty object is returned.
