A Discord bot for dispensing testnet tokens.

Features

• Responds to requests for tokens on multiple testnets
• Response includes a link to the transaction detail in the appropriate block explorer
• Limits the tokens a user can get within a time period for a given testnet
• Limits the tokens an address can get within a time period for a given testnet
• Daily cap for each testnet token
• Requests are saved in local csv file: date, cosmos address, amount, and testnet
• Errors are logged to systemd journal

Requirements

• python 3.11.12+
• gaia v11.0.0+
• Initialized gaia instance
• Faucet keys in gaia keyring

Installation

1. Python dependencies:

cosmos-discord-faucet$ source .env/bin/activate
cosmos-discord-faucet$ pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Add the bot token to config.toml
3. Modify the nodes, faucet addresses, amount to send, etc. in config.toml

Usage

This bot can be run stand-alone (mostly for testing), or as a service.

Stand-alone

python cosmos_discord_faucet.py

• This can be run inside a tmux session.

Service

1. Modify the cosmos-discord-faucet.service file as appropriate.
2. Make a copy of cosmos-discord-faucet.service or create a link to it in /etc/systemd/system/.
3. Enable and start the service:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable cosmos-discord-faucet.service
systemctl start cosmos-discord-faucet.service
systemctl status cosmos-discord-faucet.service

Discord Commands

1. Request tokens through the faucet:
   $request [chain] [cosmos address]

   • The response will include a ✅ and the transaction hash if it was successful.

2. Request the faucet and node status:
   $faucet_status [chain]

3. Request the faucet address:
   $faucet_address [chain]

4. Request information for a specific transaction:
   $tx_info [chain] [transaction hash ID]

5. Request the address balance:
   $balance [chain] [cosmos address]

Analytics

The transactions.csv file can be parsed using cosmos_faucet_analytics.py to output faucet usage analytics to a Node Exporter-compatible file.

Analytics Usage

The analytics script can be run stand-alone (mostly for testing), or as a service.

• Modify the log paths and logging period in config_analytics.toml as required.

Analytics Stand-alone

python cosmos_faucet_analytics.py

• This can be run inside a tmux session.

systemctl enable cosmos-faucet-analytics.service
systemctl start cosmos-faucet-analytics.service
systemctl status cosmos-faucet-analytics.service

Acknowledgements

This repo is based on cosmos-discord-faucet:

• The cosmospy library calls have been replaced by calls to gaiad to avoid deprecated endpoints and messages.
• The address prefix has been switched to cosmos.
