Injective Funding

Injective Mass Funding Skill

Overview

Fund many Injective wallets efficiently. Batch bank transfers, deposit to exchange subaccounts, and verify balances. Based on an Injective RFQ test framework.

Reference Code

• Seed-based funding: scripts/fund_subaccounts.py
• Two-step USDT funding: scripts/fund_demo_subaccounts.py
• Generate + fund 100 wallets: scripts/setup_wallets.py
• Top up takers: scripts/top_up_demo.py
• Bank to subaccount deposit: scripts/move_to_sub.py
• Balance checks: scripts/check_balances.py, scripts/check_all_balances.py, scripts/check_funding.py

Batch Bank Transfers

200 Transfers in One Transaction

From setup_wallets.py — batch up to 200 MsgSend in a single tx:

from pyinjective.composer import Composer
from pyinjective.transaction import Transaction

composer = Composer(network=network.string())
msgs = []

for wallet in wallets:
    # Send INJ
    msgs.append(composer.msg_send(
        sender=funder_address,
        receiver=wallet.inj_address,
        amount=inj_amount,  # in wei (1e18)
        denom="inj"
    ))
    # Send USDT
    msgs.append(composer.msg_send(
        sender=funder_address,
        receiver=wallet.inj_address,
        amount=usdt_amount,  # in 1e6
        denom=usdt_denom
    ))

# Build and broadcast single tx with all msgs
tx = Transaction(msgs=msgs, ...)

Quote-asset denoms by network

Which asset a given RFQ/exchange market uses depends on its quote_denom. Query the market via LCD (/injective/exchange/v2/derivative/markets/{id}) and look at market.quote_denom — never hardcode.

INJ Amounts

INJ uses 18 decimals (like ETH wei):

• 1 INJ = 1000000000000000000 (1e18)
• 0.1 INJ = 100000000000000000 (1e17)

Subaccount Deposits

After funding bank accounts, move to exchange subaccounts for trading:

from pyinjective.core.broadcaster import MsgBroadcasterWithPk

msg = composer.msg_subaccount_deposit(
    sender=address,
    subaccount_id=get_subaccount_id(address, nonce=0),
    amount=Decimal(str(amount)),
    denom=denom
)

broadcaster = MsgBroadcasterWithPk.new_using_simulation(
    network=network,
    private_key=private_key
)
await broadcaster.broadcast([msg])

Subaccount ID Calculation

def get_subaccount_id(inj_address: str, nonce: int = 0) -> str:
    """Generate subaccount ID: eth_address + nonce (padded to 24 hex chars)"""
    eth_addr = inj_to_eth_address(inj_address)
    return eth_addr.lower() + format(nonce, '024x')

Two-Step USDT Funding (Testnet Pattern)

1. Parent sends USDT to child via bank MsgSend
2. Child deposits USDT from bank to exchange subaccount

This is needed because on testnet, the public faucet only gives INJ, not USDT/USDC. You need to pre-fund a parent wallet with the quote asset.

Public Faucet Server (Accept-Either-Address Pattern)

Pattern for a browser-facing faucet that takes a caller-supplied address and sends INJ + quote-asset in a single MsgSend. Proven working against testnet INJ/USDC PERP (2026-04-20; tx EDE9788844E1780DC72ABBC67346550A85E842A57BF9A451FDDD130125B98163).

Principles

• Accept both inj1… and 0x… — same secp256k1 key, two encodings. MetaMask/bridge users only have the 0x form; Cosmos-native users paste inj1. Forcing one side creates a support tax. See injective-wallet-ops for the conversion helpers.
• Canonicalize to inj1 at the boundary. MsgSend wants bech32 receivers; more importantly, rate limits + dedup keys must be keyed on the canonical form. Otherwise a caller can flip encodings to dodge a cooldown.
• Per-request hard caps (e.g. 500 USDC + 2 INJ) enforced server-side, not trusted from the request body.
• Per-address cooldown in a file-backed map ({ addr: { lastRequestAt, lastTxHash } }). SQLite is overkill for testnet volumes.
• Status endpoint that returns hot-wallet balance + remaining budget. Useful for dashboards and for npm run dev-time debugging; optional to expose publicly.
• Fresh hot wallet per deployment, not reused across envs. Fund it with just enough for ~100 requests so a leak is a bounded loss. Top up on demand.

Reference implementation (Node + @injectivelabs/sdk-ts)

import 'dotenv/config';
import express from 'express';
import {
  PrivateKey, MsgSend, MsgBroadcasterWithPk,
  getInjectiveAddress, getEthereumAddress,
} from '@injectivelabs/sdk-ts';
import { Network } from '@injectivelabs/networks';

const FAUCET_PK  = process.env.FAUCET_PRIVATE_KEY;
const USDC_DENOM = 'erc20:0x0C382e685bbeeFE5d3d9C29e29E341fEE8E84C5d';  // testnet
const USDC_SUB   = (500n  * 10n**6n ).toString();   // 500 USDC
const INJ_SUB    = (2n    * 10n**18n).toString();   //   2 INJ
const COOLDOWN_MS = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;

const priv         = PrivateKey.fromHex('0x' + FAUCET_PK.replace(/^0x/, ''));
const FAUCET_ADDR  = priv.toBech32();
const broadcaster  = new MsgBroadcasterWithPk({ privateKey: FAUCET_PK, network: Network.Testnet });

// 1. Accept either form, canonicalize to inj1 for downstream use
const INJ_BECH32 = /^inj1[02-9ac-hj-np-z]{38}$/;
const ETH_HEX    = /^0x[0-9a-fA-F]{40}$/;
function normalize(raw) {
  const s = (raw || '').trim();
  if (INJ_BECH32.test(s)) return { inj: s,                      eth: getEthereumAddress(s).toLowerCase() };
  if (ETH_HEX.test(s))    return { inj: getInjectiveAddress(s), eth: s.toLowerCase() };
  throw new Error('malformed address — expected inj1… (43 chars) or 0x… (42 chars)');
}

// 2. File-backed rate limit, keyed on the inj form
const limits = new Map();  // load from disk on boot, persist on each record

// 3. The send itself — a single MsgSend with both denoms in one tx
async function sendFunds(recipientInj) {
  const msg = MsgSend.fromJSON({
    srcInjectiveAddress: FAUCET_ADDR,
    dstInjectiveAddress: recipientInj,
    amount: [{ denom: USDC_DENOM, amount: USDC_SUB }, { denom: 'inj', amount: INJ_SUB }],
  });
  const tx = await broadcaster.broadcast({ msgs: [msg] });
  return tx.txHash;
}

const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
app.post('/api/faucet', async (req, res) => {
  let parsed;
  try { parsed = normalize(req.body?.address); }
  catch (e) { return res.status(400).json({ error: e.message }); }

  const prior = limits.get(parsed.inj);
  if (prior && Date.now() - prior.lastRequestAt < COOLDOWN_MS) {
    return res.status(429).json({ error: 'cooldown', retry_after_seconds: /* … */ 0 });
  }
  try {
    const txHash = await sendFunds(parsed.inj);
    limits.set(parsed.inj, { lastRequestAt: Date.now(), lastTxHash: txHash });
    // persist limits to disk
    res.json({ ok: true, tx_hash: txHash, recipient: parsed });
  } catch (e) {
    res.status(500).json({ error: e.message || 'send failed' });
  }
});
app.listen(46001);

Gotchas

• First send to an empty account may log "account not found" before the tx completes — normal, the first MsgSend creates the bank account on-chain.
• INJ gas is the tighter budget than USDC. A 50k-USDC / 100-INJ seed gives ~50 requests (100 INJ / 2 per req) before the INJ side drains even though USDC is nowhere near empty. Monitor both.
• Expose the status endpoint behind the same basic-auth / cookie gate as the rest of your site if you don't want randos hitting it from the open internet.
• Put the faucet behind a dedicated subdomain (e.g. faucet.example.xyz) or a /api/faucet nginx location block on an existing domain — a separate pm2 process, not inside pm2 serve (which is static-only).

Balance Checks

Bank Balance

balance = await client.fetch_bank_balance(address, denom)
# Returns {"balance": {"denom": "...", "amount": "..."}}

Subaccount Balance

deposits = await client.fetch_subaccount_deposits(subaccount_id)
# Returns available + total deposits per denom

Funding Verification Script

# Check if all wallets are properly funded
python scripts/check_funding.py
# Shows: funder balance, per-wallet bank balance, per-wallet subaccount balance

CLI Patterns

# Fund 20 MM + 80 retail from seed phrases (devnet)
python scripts/fund_subaccounts.py --env devnet0 --count 20 --amount 10

# Fund only MMs
python scripts/fund_subaccounts.py --env testnet --count 20 --mm-only --amount 5

# Generate 100 fresh wallets + fund them
python scripts/setup_wallets.py

# Move all bank USDT to subaccounts
python scripts/move_to_sub.py

# Top up 10 retail takers with 100 USDT each
python scripts/top_up_demo.py

Key Facts

• Max ~200 msgs per transaction (gas limit)
• Use MsgBroadcasterWithPk.new_using_simulation() for auto gas estimation
• Sequence mismatch errors are common in rapid-fire txs -- add retry logic
• Always verify with check_balances.py after funding
• Funder wallet needs enough INJ for gas + enough tokens for all transfers
