Polkadot provides several test networks where developers can build, test, and experiment without using real DOT. To interact with these testnets, you’ll need test tokens—these are distributed through faucets, which let you request free tokens for development purposes.
Note: These tokens have no real-world value and are strictly for testing.
Using these faucets, developers can test contracts, simulate staking and governance, and experiment with cross-chain features in a safe, sandboxed environment before moving to mainnet.
