Say, I create a wallet with an `lnd create` command. As everything is initially on Bitcoin blockchain, will the wallet address/metadata be written into blockchain?

So, can I find the address of my Lightning wallet in Bitcoin blockchain and send BTC in an old-fashioned way?

If I am understanding correctly, you would like to send an on-chain payment directly to the generated multisig address to add funds to **your** channel balance?

Sorry, that won't work as expected for a number of reasons... It sounds like you are looking for a [Submarine Swaps](https://docs.lightning.engineering/the-lightning-network/lightning-overview/understanding-submarine-swaps) which are trustless / atomic.
