A faucet is a way for web3 users to obtain a small amount of testnet, or sometimes mainnet, tokens to their wallet, for the purpose of getting started using various blockchain networks or protocols, e.g. to help pay initial gas fees for testing transactions.
The name “faucet”, from American English, is used because tokens are usually “dripped” in small amounts over a fixed time period for the same user/wallet, e.g. 100 Test HBAR every 24 hours.
We link to other existing testnet faucets for the following networks:
Aptos
Casper
Hedera
Stellar
Create or log-in to your account, go to Node API at , select Faucets, and follow the instructions for each network.
Even on testnet networks, tokens need to come from somewhere, often the relevant blockchain foundation.
As a result, individual users/wallets are normally restricted to a certain amount of tokens that provide enough to allow for testing or interaction with the relevant blockchain.
