Token Factory

TokenFactory tokens are natively integrated into the bank module of the chain. Their name takes on the format factory/{creatorAddress}/{subdenom}. Because tokens are namespaced by the creator address, this allows for permissionless token minting, due to not needing to resolve name collisions. This integration provides support for tracking and querying the total supply of all assets, unlike the CW20 standard, which requires querying the smart contract directly. For this reason, using the TokenFactory standard is recommended. Products such as Helix or Mito, for example, are built on the Injective exchange module, which exclusively uses bank tokens. TokenFactory tokens can be created via the injectived CLI, as well as via smart contract. Tokens bridged into Injective via Wormhole are also TokenFactory tokens.

CW20 adapter

The CW20AdapterContract allows CW20 assets to be natively represented on Injective as Token Factory denoms. CW20 assets are held by the adapter contract and minted as a factory denom for the Injective address. When redeeming back to CW20, they are burned from the bank module and unlocked from the adapter contract back to the owner address.

Redeem a factory denom to CW20

const CW20_ADAPTER_CONTRACT = 'inj...'

    denom: `factory/${CW20_ADAPTER_CONTRACT}/${contractCw20Address}`,
    amount: actualAmount.toFixed(),
  },
  execArgs: ExecArgCW20AdapterRedeemAndTransfer.fromJSON({
    recipient: injectiveAddress,

})

// Then pack the message in a transaction, sign it and broadcast to the chain

Convert CW20 to a factory denom

const CW20_ADAPTER_CONTRACT = 'inj...'
const contractCw20Address = 'inj...'
const injectiveAddress = 'inj...'
const amount = '1000000' // 1 USDT represented as on the chain as it has 6 decimals

const message = MsgExecuteContractCompat.fromJSON({
  contractAddress: contractCw20Address,
  sender: injectiveAddress,
  execArgs: ExecArgCW20Send.fromJSON({
    amount,
    contractAddress: CW20_ADAPTER_CONTRACT,
