ℹ️ Introduction to Alephium Faucets

Alephium Faucets allow users to receive testnet ALPH tokens for development and testing purposes.

1. Testnet HTTP Faucet: Users can request testnet-v16 tokens via an API call. Simply send a POST request with the wallet address:

   curl -X POST -d 'Your_Wallet_Address' <https://faucet.testnet.alephium.org/send>
   
   

   The faucet has a cooldown period of a few minutes to prevent spam.

2. ALPH Token Faucet in the Extension Wallet:

   • Available for devnet (1000 ALPH per request) and testnet (12 ALPH per request).
   • Built into the Alephium Extension Wallet, accessible via the UI.

3. Token Faucet dApp (Next.js):

   • A web-based faucet where users can request tokens via a simple interface.

   • Run locally with:

     npm install
     npm run dev
     
     

   • Accessible at http://localhost:3000, where users connect their wallet, input the token amount (max 2 per request), and confirm the transaction.

These faucets help developers test transactions, smart contracts, and dApps on Alephium’s testnet without using real tokens.
