> :book: ***What is c-lightning wallet?***
C-lightning standard implementation comes with a integrated bitcoin wallet that allows you send and receive bitcoin onchain transactions. This wallet will be used to create new channels.
The first thing you need to do is send some satoshis to your c-lightning wallet. You can create a new address using `lightning-cli newaddr` command to use it later. The newaddr RPC command generates a new address which can subsequently be used to fund channels managed by the c-lightning node. This last transaction is called the [funding transaction](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lightning-rfc/blob/master/03-transactions.md#funding-transaction-output) and it needs to be confirmed before funds can be used. You can specify the type of address wanted, if not specified the address generated will be a bech32. The first thing you need to do is send some satoshis to your c-lightning wallet.
