Sepolia faucet

A Sepolia faucet is a free website that sends Sepolia ETH, the test coin of Ethereum's main testnet for apps, to the wallet address you paste in. Google Cloud, Alchemy, QuickNode, Chainlink and Chainstack all ran working Sepolia faucets when we opened them on November 8, 2026, and most of them check for a small balance of real ETH first.

Working Sepolia Faucets Today

Working Sepolia faucets today come from Google Cloud, Alchemy, QuickNode, Chainlink, Chainstack and a community proof of work faucet, and each one is listed with its limits in its own words. We opened each landing page, did not connect a wallet, and did not request funds.

Google Cloud Web3 gives 0.05 Sepolia ETH per drip. The page says the rate limit applies per Google Account and per address, so you sign in with Google, and its FAQ refers to a minimum of 0.001 ETH on Ethereum mainnet.¹
Alchemy sends 0.1 ETH every 24 hours with no account. The wallet needs at least 0.001 ETH on mainnet, some real mainnet transactions, and a low existing testnet balance.²
QuickNode allows one claim every 12 hours per network and shows the base amount after you enter an address. It wants a small mainnet balance and doubles the drip if you share a post on X, which is optional.³
Chainlink drips 0.5 ETH and 25 LINK after you connect MetaMask, WalletConnect or Coinbase Wallet.⁴
Chainstack tops a wallet up to 0.5 ETH every 24 hours, but asks for a Chainstack API key and 0.08 ETH on mainnet.⁵
The PoW faucet has your browser do mining work instead of checking a balance, which suits a fresh wallet with no mainnet history.⁶

Infura's faucet link, still listed on ethereum.org, sent us to the Infura homepage on November 8, 2026, so it is left off this page.

Which Sepolia Faucet to Try First

The Sepolia faucet to try first depends on what your wallet holds. With at least 0.001 ETH on mainnet, Alchemy pays without an account and Google Cloud pays to any Google account. Chainlink (with a connected wallet) and Chainstack (with a small mainnet balance) give the largest drips at 0.5 ETH. With an empty wallet, the PoW faucet is the one that will pay.

Faucets cap claims per address and per day, so if one says you already claimed, wait out its window (12 hours at QuickNode, 24 hours at Alchemy and Chainstack) or use a different faucet. For other networks, see the full testnet faucets list.

Sepolia Chain ID and RPC

Sepolia's chain ID is 11155111, which is 0xaa36a7 in hexadecimal. The client teams' Sepolia repository gives 11155111 as both the chain ID and network ID, and the chainid.network registry lists the same number.⁸

A public Sepolia RPC that answered our test is https://ethereum-sepolia-rpc.publicnode.com, documented by PublicNode and listed by chainid.network. At 23:23 UTC on November 8, 2026 we sent it an eth_chainId request and it returned 0xaa36a7, the right chain. The ethPandaOps endpoint https://rpc.sepolia.ethpandaops.io, listed on its Sepolia page, returned the same answer.

The older rpc.sepolia.org address still appears in many guides, but it gave no response within 15 seconds in the same test, so we do not list it. Public endpoints are rate limited and fine for testing, not for production traffic.

To add Sepolia to a wallet by hand, enter the network name Sepolia, chain ID 11155111, currency symbol ETH and one of the two RPC URLs above. Many wallets already include it under a test networks toggle. The Sepolia chain page carries the explorers and the rest of the network details.

What Sepolia Is For

Sepolia is Ethereum's testnet for contracts and apps: ethereum.org calls it the recommended default for application development, while Hoodi is the testnet for validators and staking.¹¹ Sepolia runs a permissioned validator set controlled by client and testing teams, which keeps it small and quick to sync.

Sepolia is still live and still getting upgrades. A March 2025 Ethereum Foundation post listed an expected end of life of September 30, 2026, but the foundation then scheduled Glamsterdam on Sepolia for October 6, 2026.¹² We will update this page when the foundation names a shutdown date. Layer 2 test networks are usually tied to an Ethereum testnet, which is why you will also see Base Sepolia and Arbitrum Sepolia.

Sepolia ETH Has No Value

Sepolia ETH has no value: Alchemy's faucet page calls it a test currency with no real-world value, and it cannot be redeemed for real ETH. That is the whole point, since you can deploy and break contracts without spending money.

Sites that sell Sepolia ETH are sellers, not faucets, and Onchain Wiki does not link them. A real faucet only needs your public address. It never asks for your seed phrase, never asks you to sign a transaction, and never asks you to pay. A claim page that wants a signature is a wallet drainer.

Can I buy Sepolia ETH?

Sepolia ETH can be bought from some sellers, but it has no value and every faucet on this page gives it away free. Paying for it spends real money on a test coin. Onchain Wiki does not link any seller.
