What is a testnet Ethereum faucet?
An Ethereum faucet is a developer tool to get testnet Ether (ETH) in order to test and troubleshoot your decentralized application or protocol before going live on Ethereum mainnet, where one must use real Ether. Most faucets require social authentication (e.g. Twitter post or login confirming you are a real human) or place you in a queue to wait for a testnet token through the faucet. The Alchemy Sepolia faucet is free, fast, and does not require authentication, though you can optionally login to Alchemy to get an increased drip.
