We have a chicken-and-egg problem, where validators need some funds in the subnet already to commit the first top-down checkpoint, but in order to inject funds into the subnet, a top-down checkpoint is required. To work around this problem until we account abstraction is implemented and we can solve this properly, the initial validators for a subnet will be funded with 1 FIL that they can use to commit the first few top-down messages and inject some funds from the parent to their account so they can operate the subnet.
