# Funds an account

`POST /fund`

With this endpoint a user can create and fund an account. Depending on
the configured funding backend, this may do different things under the
hood (e.g. minting vs transferring) and have different funding semantics
(e.g. whether it will fund an account if it already exists).

## Request body
