How to Get Free XRP Tokens From the XRP Ledger EVM Devnet Sidechain Faucet
Introduction
In this guide, we'll show you how to get free testnet XRP on XRP Ledger EVM Devnet Sidechain.
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.
