}PaymentChannelFund Fields
In addition to the common fields, PaymentChannelFund transactions use the following fields:
| Field | JSON Type | Internal Type | Required? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Channel | String - Hexadecimal | UInt256 | Yes | The unique ID of the channel to fund. |
Amount | Currency Amount | Amount | Yes | Amount to add to the channel. Must be a positive amount. Non-XRP tokens can only be used if the TokenEscrow amendment is enabled. |
Expiration | Number | UInt32 | No | New expiration time to set for the channel, in seconds since the Ripple Epoch. This must be later than either the current time plus the SettleDelay of the channel, or the existing Expiration of the channel. After the Expiration time, any transaction that would access the channel closes the channel without taking its normal action. (Expiration is separate from the channel's immutable CancelAfter time.) For more information, see the PayChannel ledger entry type. |
