A blockchain faucet is a service that gives out small amounts of cryptocurrency for free—like a faucet dripping drops of crypto instead of water.
Testnet cryptocurrency provides a safe, risk-free environment for blockchain development and experimentation. It allows developers to test applications and smart contracts without using real cryptocurrencies. This enables exploration of our products and experimentation with various features and configurations using testnet tokens, without risking real assets or affecting the mainnet.
Testnets and mainnets serve distinct purposes in blockchain development. Mainnets handle real-world transactions with real cryptocurrencies, while testnets offer a safe, risk-free environment for testing. Using testnet tokens, developers can experiment with applications, smart contracts, and our APIs without risking real assets or impacting the mainnet. This controlled environment ensures the stability and reliability of applications before they go live.
This is where a testnet faucet comes in, a service that distributes testnet tokens for free, allowing developers to access the necessary testing resources.
The Faucet feature in Quantum's allows users to request MATIC and AVALANCHE testnet tokens for testing purposes. This feature is designed to facilitate developers in building and testing applications that integrate with these blockchain networks.
The Quantum's Faucet allows you to request every 24 hours:
0.5 MATIC on the Amoy Testnet chain or,
0.5 AVAX on the Fuji Testnet chain.
To request tokens from the Faucet, you need to follow these steps:
Sandbox credentials in the Portal
Select Blockchain: Choose on whether you want to request MATIC or AVALANCHE tokens.
Provide Wallet Information: Enter your wallet address or wallet UUID associated with quantum. This ensures that the tokens are sent to the correct wallet.
Tokens can only be requested using wallets created within quantum and can be requested once every 24 hours.
Request Tokens: Click on the "Request tokens" button to submit your request. Tokens will be sent to your wallet shortly after.
Request MATIC tokens
Tokens sent successfully: You will see a message indicating the tokens were transferred. You can confirm by copying the transaction hash and checking it yourself on:
Tokens transferred successfully
The Faucet feature provided by quantum's Developer Portal is a convenient tool for developers to access test tokens for MATIC and AVALANCHE networks. Following the simple steps outlined above, developers can easily obtain tokens for testing their applications on these networks.
