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.
