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.
