# 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](https://ethermint.io/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](./../basics/accounts#addresses-and-public-keys) (`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](https://auth0.com/) before requesting tokens.
|
|
|
|
<!-- TODO: add screenshots of authentication window -->
|
|
|
|
## Amount
|
|
|
|
For each request, the faucet transfers $1 ~ * ~ 10^{18}$ aphotons (i.e 1 Photon) to the given address.
