Getting tokens from faucets in testnet environments
If you just created your account with the CLI, remember the command told us our account address: Wallet address: 0x37434d6673ff106446c9224884D54201e5Ae46A4
Native tokens
To interact with a blockchain network you need to have balance in the tokens related with the transaction you need to do. For example if you want write anything on-chain as a result of calling a Smart Contract, you need to pay for that in the specific network native token (ETH, MATIC, etc). In a testnet, it's possible to get some of them using a public faucet.
Getting testnet ETH
https://faucet.quicknode.com/arbitrum/sepolia dispenses a small amount of ETH.
- Select Arbitrum and Sepolia from the dropdowns.
- Connect your MetaMask to complete the wallet address field.
- Optionally you can tweet to double the amount of test ETH you will receive. (note: the faucet might say ARB, but your MetaMask will say ETH 🤷♀️🤷🏼♂️)
Alternatively, you can use the Sepolia Faucet to get some ETH.
