PaymentChannelCreate

Create a unidirectional channel and fund it with XRP. The address sending this transaction becomes the "source address" of the payment channel.

PaymentChannelCreate Fields

In addition to the common fields, a PaymentChannelCreate transaction uses the following fields:

Field	JSON Type	Internal Type	Description
`Amount`	String	Amount	Amount of XRP, in drops, to deduct from the sender's balance and set aside in this channel. While the channel is open, the XRP can only go to the `Destination` address. When the channel closes, any unclaimed XRP is returned to the source address's balance.
`Destination`	String	AccountID	Address to receive XRP claims against this channel. This is also known as the "destination address" for the channel. Cannot be the same as the sender (`Account`).
`SettleDelay`	Number	UInt32	Amount of time the source address must wait before closing the channel if it has unclaimed XRP.
`PublicKey`	String	Blob	The public key of the key pair the source will use to sign claims against this channel, in hexadecimal. This can be any secp256k1 or Ed25519 public key.
`CancelAfter`	Number	UInt32	(Optional) The time, in seconds since the Ripple Epoch, when this channel expires. Any transaction that would modify the channel after this time closes the channel without otherwise affecting it. This value is immutable; the channel can be closed earlier than this time but cannot remain open after this time.
`DestinationTag`	Number	UInt32	(Optional) Arbitrary tag to further specify the destination for this payment channel, such as a hosted recipient at the destination address.
