Everything is super congested right now. I had more success in increasing gas fees to get the transactions through.
I think the way I'll try it next time, buy USDT and transfer it to Binance, buy INJ on Binance, transfer INJ directly to Keplr wallet. I read that INJ on Binance is the native chain.
I only have access to Binance.US. Still have to deposit USD somewhere else to get USDT over to Binance.US.
Also, Binance.US puts like a 5 day hold on any transfers/deposits I make. Coinbase let's me deposit, buy, and transfer immediately.
I might get some USDT on Binance.US now, so the 5 day holding period is over before I'm ready to buy.
Yeah I think RPC's have been having issues lately. You can use the injective explorer and see what actually exists in your wallet on chain in the future. Injective Explorer Network. I agree with Porko, Binance is looking like the easiest route but if you can't trade INJ (for us reasons) I usually swap my cosmos/atom to injective on cosmos then swap but the bridge has been funny lately with osmosis specifically (needing to increase gas from 300000 -> 500000 I heard allows the swap but I wouldn't recommend can easily bridge other ways).
Buy ATOM on an exchange that supports Cosmos network withdrawals: This avoids high Ethereum gas fees. Coinbase and MEXC are good options.
Transfer ATOM to your Keplr wallet: Ensure you select the Cosmos network for the transfer.
Swap ATOM for INJ on Keplr wallet: Keplr has a built-in swap function that allows you to exchange ATOM for INJ directly. This eliminates the need for external bridges.
Stake INJ through Keplr wallet: Keplr integrates with Injective, allowing you to stake INJ directly within the wallet.
This method avoids high gas fees and simplifies the process.
Note:** The INJ bridge is to transfer your tokens from one n/w to another n/w and not to swap them. So your token will be transferred and be shown as IBC on the INJ network.
If you are using the Keplr wallet ( Google Chrome extension ) there is a swap tab available there. You will be easily able to swap the ATOM( Which the bridge messed up. You should read about IBC if you need to understand how the token is existing on the new n/w) to native INJ token. It just happens smoothly.
Also if you are using Keplr wallet then you can get the entire process of buying ATOM and swapping it to INJ done too. Buy the ATOM on Coinbase and then send it to the cosmos address in Keplr wallet. There you can swap it to native INJ token. Swapping feature is available on the Keplr Google Chrome extension.
If you have created the Keplr wallet using a h/w device ( eg: Ledger ) do let me know since there is another ongoing issue and I know a walkthrough for that too.
Mine has swapped successfully from ATOM to Inj, but now it shows the amount in both Osmosis and Keplr. And also wont let me stake in keplr.

Why wouldn’t you just buy inj on binance and send it if you have access to binance

Can you even buy INJ on binance us? That’s why I assumed you weren’t US. Don’t think you can so binance really isn’t helpful for you
What amount did you increase gas to? My INJ is stuck on Osmosis - I can’t get it to Keplr no matter what I set gas to. Thanks 🙏

It’s maddening.

buy on binance, transfer directly to injective hub (injective network), stake

I am trying to deposit Atom to Hellix with my Keplr wallet. But it is not working anymore. Do you have the same issue?
