==== Funding Transaction
((("funding transaction")))((("payment channel","funding transaction")))The fundamental building block of a payment channel is a 2-of-2 multisignature address. One of the two channel partners will fund the payment channel by sending bitcoin to the multisignature address. This transaction is called the _funding transaction_, and is recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain.footnote:[While the original Lightning whitepaper described channels funded by both channel partners, the current specification, as of 2020, assumes that just one partner commits funds to the channel. As of May 2021, dual-funded lightning channels are experimental in the c-lightning LN implementation.]
