WebSocket API

Kchannels provides WebSocket endpoints to provide real-time messaging about the state of the channel as well in incoming and outgoing transactions. Every client should always keep both of these WebSockets open to stay up-to-date on what is happening in the channel.

Make sure to replace <ZONE>, <NETWORK>, <CHANNEL_UUID>, and <CHANNEL_DEFINITION_VERSION> with the appropriate values.
