This multisignature address comes with a cryptographic protocol that is established by creating a sequence of transactions that spend from this address. Each new transaction is negotiated between you and your channel partners and are attempts to spend from the multisignature address. The latest transaction in the sequence encodes the balance of the channel and defines how the funds locked into the multisignature address are to be divided between you and your channel partner.
