5 Token Faucet (cosmosfaucet) /packages/cosmosfaucet

Token Faucet (cosmosfaucet)

The cosmosfaucet package provides a local faucet service and client helpers to fund Cosmos accounts during development and tests.

For full API details, see the cosmosfaucet Go package documentation.

When to use

  • Automatically fund accounts in local/devnet environments.
  • Expose a faucet HTTP endpoint backed by a chain key.
  • Request funds from an existing faucet endpoint from automation code.

Key APIs

  • New(ctx context.Context, ccr chaincmdrunner.Runner, options ...Option) (Faucet, error)
  • TryRetrieve(ctx context.Context, chainID, rpcAddress, faucetAddress, accountAddress string) (string, error)
  • OpenAPI(apiAddress string) Option
  • Coin(amount, maxAmount sdkmath.Int, denom string) Option
  • FeeAmount(amount sdkmath.Int, denom string) Option
  • RefreshWindow(refreshWindow time.Duration) Option
  • NewTransferRequest(accountAddress string, coins []string) TransferRequest

Common Tasks

  • Construct a Faucet with chain runner + options, then expose transfer endpoints for local users.
  • Use TryRetrieve in tests before broadcasting txs to ensure accounts have spendable balance.
  • Tune coin amount, max amount, and refresh window to limit faucet abuse.
