Testnet faucets

A testnet faucet is a free web tool that sends a small amount of test coins to your wallet address so you can deploy and test apps without spending real money. We opened every faucet below on November 8, 2026 and recorded what each one gives, how often, and what it asks for before it pays out.

What a Testnet Faucet Does

A testnet faucet does one job: it sends free test coins to an address you paste in, so you can pay gas on a test network. A testnet is a copy of a blockchain that runs the same software as the main network, but its coins are created for testing and trade for nothing.

ethereum.org describes faucets as web apps where you enter an address and request test ETH, and it calls Sepolia the recommended default testnet for application development.¹ Every faucet caps how much it gives and how often, because the supply is free and bots would drain it otherwise.

A faucet only needs your public address. No real faucet asks for a seed phrase or private key, and none needs you to pay. Read the seed phrase page for why a site that asks for one is a theft attempt.

Testnet Faucets by Network

Testnet faucets by network are listed in the table, one or two per chain, each run by the chain itself, a large infrastructure company or, in one case, a long-running community project. Limits are in each faucet's own words as of this check. Each network also has its own page with more faucets and setup details: Sepolia faucets, Solana devnet faucets, BNB testnet faucets, Base Sepolia faucets and Arbitrum Sepolia faucets.

Which Ethereum Testnet to Use

Use Sepolia as the Ethereum testnet for contracts and apps, and Hoodi for validators and staking. ethereum.org says those are the two public testnets client developers maintain today, and that Hoodi lets stakers test network upgrades before mainnet. Layer 2 testnets such as Base Sepolia and Arbitrum Sepolia are tied to Sepolia, which ethereum.org says is usual for layer 2 test networks, and that is why their names match.

Polygon Amoy Faucet Numbers Differ

The Polygon Amoy faucet numbers differ between sources. Polygon's own docs say the Alchemy faucet pays 0.5 POL per day with an Alchemy account and 0.2 without, while Alchemy's faucet page says 0.1 POL every 24 hours with no account required.² The table uses the faucet's own page. The official Polygon faucet sat behind a bot check that blocked our visit on November 8, 2026, so it is left out.

Why Testnet Faucets Ask for a Mainnet Balance

Testnet faucets ask for a mainnet balance to stop bots: a wallet that holds real coins costs something to create, so one person cannot spin up thousands of addresses. Alchemy, for example, asks for at least 0.001 ETH on Ethereum mainnet, some real transaction history, and a low existing testnet balance.³

The faucet only reads the balance. It never moves your mainnet coins, and you never sign a transaction to pass the check. If a page asks you to sign or approve something to claim test coins, close it: that is how a wallet drainer works.

If you hold no mainnet coins at all, proof of work faucets are the way around the rule. The PoW faucet for Sepolia and Hoodi makes your browser do a little mining work instead of checking a balance.

Retired Testnets: Goerli, Mumbai and Holesky

Goerli, Mumbai and Holesky are retired testnets, and faucets for them no longer matter even where an old page still lists them. Here is when each one ended, from the teams that ran them.

Goerli (Ethereum): the Ethereum Foundation tied its end to Dencun, which reached mainnet on March 13, 2024, giving an April 13, 2024 sunset. Most Goerli validators had shut down before that date.⁴
Mumbai (Polygon): Polygon set Mumbai to go offline on April 13, 2024, the same day as Goerli, and moved developers to Amoy.⁵
Holesky (Ethereum): Hoodi launched in March 2025 to replace it, and the Ethereum Foundation announced on September 1, 2025 that Holesky validators would shut down two weeks after Fusaka finalized there.⁶

Sepolia is still live. A March 2025 Ethereum Foundation post gave it an expected end of life of September 30, 2026, but the foundation then scheduled the Glamsterdam upgrade on Sepolia for October 6, 2026, and ethereum.org still recommends it.⁸ We will update this page when the foundation names a date.

Testnet Coins Have No Value

Testnet coins have no value, and the networks say so themselves. BNB Chain says tBNB has no financial value and cannot be traded at a real price, and Solana's cluster docs say devnet tokens are not real.⁹

That makes any site selling testnet ETH or other test coins a seller, not a faucet. Onchain Wiki does not link sellers. If a faucet comes up empty, wait out the cooldown, try a second faucet from the table, or ask the chain's developer Discord, which is what BNB Chain and Monad both point to.

Questions People Ask About Testnet faucets

These are the questions people ask next about Testnet faucets.

What is a testnet faucet?

A testnet faucet is a free website that sends a small amount of test coins to your wallet address. Developers use those coins to pay gas on a test network while they build. The coins have no market value, and a real faucet never asks for a payment or a seed phrase.

Where can I get a free ETH faucet for Sepolia?

A free ETH faucet for Sepolia is run by Google Cloud Web3, Alchemy, QuickNode and Chainlink, and each one was working on November 8, 2026. Google Cloud gives 0.05 Sepolia ETH per drip and Alchemy gives 0.1 ETH every 24 hours. Most want a small balance of real ETH on mainnet.

Why does a testnet faucet need mainnet ETH?

A testnet faucet needs mainnet ETH in your wallet as proof you are a person, not a bot farming addresses. Alchemy and Google Cloud both look for 0.001 ETH on Ethereum mainnet. The faucet only reads the balance and never moves it.

Can I sell testnet coins from a crypto faucet?

Testnet coins from a crypto faucet are not money and the networks say they have no value. Sites that sell testnet ETH are not faucets, and buying from them spends real money on something every faucet in the table gives away free.

Is the Goerli testnet faucet still working?

No Goerli testnet faucet is still working in any useful sense, because Goerli itself was retired. The Ethereum Foundation set its sunset for April 13, 2024, and recommends Sepolia for apps and Hoodi for validators instead.
