Select the **asset, amount**, and the **counterparty node**.\
You can create **BTC channels** or **Taproot Asset channels**.

When creating a Taproot Asset channel, ensure your account holds some BTC to cover **channel fees**. Otherwise, creation will fail.

To complete test tasks, exchange node information with other test users and create channels with them.

If you haven’t added the counterparty before, you must add their node info (including **Taproot Assets Public Key** and **Host**) before creating the first channel.

You can view and copy your own node info in **Settings**.
