BNB testnet faucet
A BNB testnet faucet is a free website that sends tBNB, the test coin of BNB Smart Chain's testnet, to the address you paste in so you can pay gas while you build. BNB Chain's own faucet sends 0.3 BNB once every 24 hours and asks for 0.002 BNB on BSC mainnet in the same wallet, as of November 8, 2026.

Working BNB Testnet Faucets
Working BNB testnet faucets on November 8, 2026 were BNB Chain's official faucet, QuickNode and Chainstack, with limits as each faucet states them. We opened each landing page and did not connect a wallet or request funds.
- BNB Chain (official) sends 0.3 BNB per request, and you can claim once every 24 hours across all its tokens. It needs 0.002 BNB on BSC mainnet in the receiving wallet.1
- QuickNode allows one claim every 12 hours per network and shows the amount after you enter an address. It wants a small mainnet balance but no account. On November 8, 2026 its page showed a low balance warning for BNB testnet, so drips may fail until it is refilled.2
- Chainstack tops a wallet up to 0.5 BNB every 24 hours, but asks for a Chainstack API key and 0.08 ETH on Ethereum mainnet, not BNB.3
Chainlink's BNB Chain testnet faucet only dripped LINK, not tBNB, when we checked, so it is left off. For other networks, see the full testnet faucets list.
BSC Testnet Faucet Rules and Limits
The BSC testnet faucet rules come down to one claim per day and a small real balance. BNB Chain's faucet docs say each user can receive up to 0.3 tBNB per day, which matches the faucet page.
The 0.002 BNB mainnet balance is a bot filter. The faucet reads it and never moves it, and you do not sign anything to pass the check. If a request keeps failing, BNB Chain's FAQ says to wait and try again later, and to ask in its Discord if the problem stays.
For more than 0.3 tBNB a day, BNB Chain takes large requests for development work through its Discord, and its docs also describe asking a bot for tBNB in Discord or Telegram. Each of those still needs only your public address.
Test BEP20 Tokens From the BNB Faucet
The BNB faucet also hands out test BEP20 tokens: BTC, BUSD, DAI, ETH, USDC, XRP and USDT, all issued as BEP20 tokens on testnet. They share the same once per 24 hours limit as tBNB, and projects can apply to add their own token. Like tBNB, they are test copies with no value, and they are not the real tokens covered on the BEP20 page.
BNB Testnet Chain ID and RPC
The BNB testnet chain ID is 97, written 0x61 in hexadecimal; BSC mainnet is 56. BNB Chain's JSON-RPC endpoint docs give both numbers, and the chainid.network registry lists BNB Smart Chain Testnet as 97.6
A public BNB testnet RPC that answered our test is https://bsc-testnet-dataseed.bnbchain.org, run by BNB Chain. At 23:24 UTC on November 8, 2026 we sent it an eth_chainId request and it returned 0x61. The older https://data-seed-prebsc-1-s1.bnbchain.org:8545, which chainid.network lists, returned the same answer.
To add the testnet to a wallet by hand, use chain ID 97, currency symbol tBNB and one of those RPC URLs. Check the chain ID twice: a wallet set to 56 is on mainnet, where coins are real. The BNB Chain page covers mainnet settings.
| Setting | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Chain ID | 97 | BNB Chain docs, chainid.network |
| Chain ID (hex) | 0x61 | BNB Chain docs, eth_chainId test |
| RPC | https://bsc-testnet-dataseed.bnbchain.org | BNB Chain docs |
| RPC | https://data-seed-prebsc-1-s1.bnbchain.org:8545 | chainid.network |
| Mainnet chain ID (for contrast) | 56 | BNB Chain docs |
Testnet BNB Has No Value
Testnet BNB has no value: BNB Chain says tBNB holds no financial value and cannot be traded at a real price, because its supply is unlimited and it exists only for testing. You cannot swap it or bridge it into real BNB.
Sites that sell tBNB are sellers, not faucets, and Onchain Wiki does not link them. A real faucet asks for your public address only. It never asks for your seed phrase, never asks you to sign a transaction, and never asks for payment. Any tBNB claim page that asks you to sign a message is a wallet drainer, not a faucet.
