Request fields

Field	Type	Meaning
`client_id`	string	Taker-supplied UUID correlation ID. The indexer enforces UUID format.
`rfq_id`	uint64	Indexer-assigned RFQ ID. Use this for quote signing and settlement correlation.
`market_id`	string	Injective derivative market ID.
`direction`	string	Taker direction: `"long"` or `"short"`.
`margin`	string	Taker’s requested margin, human-scale decimal string.
`quantity`	string	Taker’s requested quantity, human-scale decimal string.
`worst_price`	string	Max acceptable price for taker long, min acceptable price for taker short.
`request_address`	string	Taker `inj1...` address.
`expiry`	uint64	Request expiry as Unix milliseconds.

rfq_id is taker-scoped. Use (request_address, rfq_id) as the settlement correlation key; do not invent it locally and do not use client_id in its place.

How to interpret direction

The direction is always from the taker’s perspective.

Taker direction	Taker wants	Maker fills
`long`	Buy / go long	Short side
`short`	Sell / go short	Long side

For a taker long, lower maker quote prices are more competitive. For a taker short, higher maker quote prices are more competitive.

Pricing inputs

A production maker usually prices from:

Current mark price and external reference venues
Market tick size and quantity step
Request quantity and margin
Taker worst_price
Inventory skew
Funding carry
Hedge cost
Available USDC margin
Quote expiry budget

worst_price is already human-scale, for example "14.85". Do not treat it as a 1e18-scaled integer.

Partial fills

Your quote does not have to match the taker’s full requested margin or quantity. You may quote a smaller maker_quantity / maker_margin if you only want to fill part of the request. If you set min_fill_quantity, the contract will not fill that quote below your minimum. Sign absent min_fill_quantity as "0" through the helper path; never use an empty string in the signed digest.

Next step

After receiving a request:

Decide whether to quote.
Canonicalize all decimal strings.
Sign the quote with EIP-712 v2.
Send it with sign_mode: "v2" and evm_chain_id.
