How to Get Free Hybrid (HYB) Tokens From the Hybrid Testnet Faucet

Introduction

In this guide, we'll show you how to get free testnet HYB on Hybrid Testnet.

When using a testnet, you'll need some funds to cover the gas for transactions onto the blockchain.

What is a testnet faucet?

A testnet faucet is a service that provides free testnet currency to web3 app and blockchain developers. Testnets provide a risk-free environment for developers to build and test web3 apps before deploying to mainnet.

By simulating transactions and testing smart contracts on testnets, developers can identify and resolve issues before deployment on the mainnet. This process not only prevents costly errors but also enhances the reliability and functionality of blockchain apps.

The faucet is powered by thirdweb engine, which provides a multi-chain backend to manage all the transfers. When you request testnet funds, a small amount of tokens is transferred to your account, ensuring you have the necessary resources to continue your development seamlessly.

For each testnet, you will be able to claim an allocation of funds once every 24 hours. You can find a comprehensive list of testnets to build your web3 app on here.
