Overview

Faucets are essential tools for developers. They provide the 'gas' needed to deploy and interact with smart contracts on test networks. Some faucets also exist for mainnets to help new users get started with tiny amounts of dust.

How they Work

Usually, you enter your wallet address on a website, complete a captcha, and the faucet sends you a small amount of tokens. To prevent abuse, faucets often have limits on how much you can request per day.
