# Open Channel(Get L-BTC)

Please confirm that your node has been funded with BTC; otherwise, refer to this [section](/use/earn-usdgeb/stake-l-btc/node-asset-management.md).

You only need to open a Lightning Network channel with BEVM’s root node to obtain L-BTC, and the amount depends on the "Local Balance" in the channel. 

**Open the Node**  [**page**](https://bevmhub.bevm.io/node)**.**

{% step %}

### **Click "Open Channel" in the top right corner.**

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Enter the channel capacity and click "Next."**

Ensure that your "on-chain balance" is sufficient.

### **Wait for the channel to open.**

As shown in the screenshot, when a channel in your list appears with the "online" status, it means the channel has been successfully opened. The transaction for opening the channel requires three confirmations on the Bitcoin network.
