How to use a Faucet

☝ Available only on testnets!

What is a Faucet?

A testnet faucet provides developers and builders with test tokens for deploying, testing and optimizing smart contracts on public blockchains without having to spend real ETH tokens.

Smart contracts on mainnet blockchains like Ethereum and Gnosis require gas fees to run smart contracts and incentivize validators to process and validate transactions accurately. Testnets help mirror the functionality of the main blockchain.

The faucet on Presto is not gasless as each testnet provisioned with Presto has a faucet built-in and pre-funded.
