+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.
