Faucet
Check how to obtain testnet tokens from the Ethermint faucet website {synopsis}
Requesting tokens
You can request tokens for the testnet by using the Ethermint faucet.
Simply fill in your address on the input field in bech32 (ethm1...
) or hex (0x...
) format.
::: warning
If you use your bech32 address, make sure you input the account address (ethm1...
) and NOT the validator operator address (ethmvaloper1...
)
:::
Rate limits
To prevent the faucet account from draining the available funds, the Ethermint testnet faucet imposes a maximum number of request for a period of time. By default the faucet service accepts 1 request per day per address. All addresses must be authenticated using Auth0 before requesting tokens.
Amount
For each request, the faucet transfers 1 ~ * ~ 10^{18}
aphotons (i.e 1 Photon) to the given address.
