:potable_water: What is a “Blockchain Faucet” and what is it used for?

A faucet is a widely used tool in the blockchain ecosystem that allows users to receive small amounts of cryptocurrency for free. Its main purpose is to provide initial access to a network—whether for experimentation, development, or learning—without needing to acquire assets through an exchange.

In general terms, a faucet can be available on both mainnet (the main network with real value) and testnet (a parallel network intended for testing, without real economic value).
In both contexts, the distributed funds have a specific purpose, so responsible usage is essential to ensure the service’s sustainability and the healthy functioning of the ecosystem.

In the case of mainnet networks, some projects offer faucets that distribute small fractions of real tokens, especially during early adoption phases. These resources can be useful for:

  • Helping new users activate or test their wallets.
  • Enabling basic operations, such as paying gas fees to perform transactions—especially if the user hasn’t received any funds yet.
  • Encouraging adoption and experimentation without requiring an upfront purchase.
