Inventory of testnet faucets: How to get test coins quickly?
As various Project Odyssey events take place, there is increasing demand for testnet tokens. For example, Linea consumes a lot of ETH test coins during the operation of the test network. Want to get test coins quickly, but can't find a suitable faucet website for a while?
Today's article will evaluate several faucet websites on the market to help you find the fastest and most convenient one.
Since the Goerli test chain is the most commonly used, other chains such as Linea can be transferred across chains, so this article mainly focuses on the experience of the test coin faucet of the Goerli chain. The following are several common faucet websites.
1. Alchemy
Alchemy is a Web3 infrastructure, which is often called alchemy in the Chinese currency circle. As an infrastructure project, Alchemy also began to provide ETH test coins for free very early on. At present, to receive test coins, you need to pass the man-machine verification of reCAPTCHA and the verification of the minimum 0.0001 ETH main network balance.

Claim amount: 0.02 ETH
Pick up interval: 24 H
Verification method: reCAPTCHA man-machine verification, Alchemy account login, 0.0001 ETH main network balance
2. Chaineye
Chaineye is an open source full-chain analysis tool, incubated by Biteye, Asia's leading Web3 research community. In addition to viewing data on the chain, Chaineye is also currently on the testnet faucet.
Chaineye’s faucet can receive 0.1 ETH at a time, which is much more generous than the above alchemy. When receiving test coins, you need to follow Chaineye’s Twitter account, forward a tweet at the same time, and then fill in your Twitter ID to receive it.
The twitter account here needs at least 10 fans and more than 30 days, otherwise it will be considered an invalid account.

Claim amount: 0.1 ETH
Pick up interval: 24 H
Verification method: Twitter Verification
3. Paradigm
Paradigm is a cryptocurrency investment institution established in 2018. They also have their own faucet website. When entering the wallet address to receive, you can also check other networks to receive test coins from other networks simultaneously with one click.
The limit for claiming is the same as the above Chaineye, which requires verification of Twitter. Twitter needs at least 1 tweet, 50 fans, and it has been created for more than 1 month.
However, it may be because there are too many people claiming it. When the current Paradigm faucet collects test coins, it often pops up a window to remind users that they have claimed it within 24 hours.

Claim amount: 0.1 ETH
Pick up interval: 24 H
Verification method: Twitter Verification
4. Pik 910
Pik 910 is an open source faucet project. Unlike other faucets, after users enter their wallet address, the button below is not "Receive", but "Start Mining".
The longer you wait for Mining, the more test coins you can get. It seems that there will be a stop at 0.75 E, but there is no clear statement on the official website.
In addition, when you already have a lot of test coins in your wallet, you will be informed by a pop-up window that you are prohibited from receiving them.

Claim amount: 0.01-0.75 ETH
Pick up interval: 24 H
Verification method: hCAPTCHA man-machine verification, PoW verification
5. Quicknode
Quicknode is a leading Web3 cloud platform dedicated to building blockchain-driven applications. Their faucet website is relatively simple, and you can directly enter your wallet address to receive it. Receiving needs to verify the main network balance, if it is less than 0.001 E, it cannot be claimed.
If you send a tweet to help them spread the word when claiming, then you can get double test coins. Of course, if you don't want to, you can also receive half of it directly.
website:
Claim amount: 0.1 ETH
Pick up interval: 12 H
Verification method: 0.001 ETH main network balance
6. Unitap
Unitap is a multi-chain gas collection tool. This website provides small gas fee collection for some chains. However, some tokens on the main network have been sold out, and the test network can be used for stable collection.
Although this website supports many chains for claiming, it has a prerequisite, that is, you have to pass Bright ID verification. This is an identity verification project. Users need to verify their real identity through camera conferences. The website can basically be abandoned.

Claim amount: 0.1 ETH
Pick-up interval: not fixed, usually longer
Verification method: Bright ID
7. Coinbase
As a compliant exchange in the United States, Coinbase also provides test coin collection services for a large number of users, but the collection process of Coinbase is more troublesome.
First of all, it requires users to download the browser plug-in of Coinbase wallet. At the same time, when claiming, you also need to keep a balance of at least 0.002 ETH in your account on the main network, otherwise it will be considered a robot and cannot be claimed.
website:
Claim amount: 0.1 ETH
Pick up interval: 24 H
Verification method: 0.002 ETH main network balance, Coinbase own wallet
8. ENS
ENS is currently the most eye-catching domain name service on Ethereum, and it is also a very profitable project. In order to allow users to better experience their domain name management app, ENS has also launched a testnet token collection service.
The faucet of ENS can receive 0.25 ETH test coins at a time, but after testing, if this address does not hold the ENS domain name, there will be no notice of claiming.
In addition, the interval between claims is also very long, and you need to wait for 3 months before you can claim it again. If there are too many interactive test items, this frequency of claiming is completely insufficient.
Claim amount: 0.25 ETH
Claim interval: 90 days
Verification method: ENS domain name holder
Nine, Layerzero
If none of the above faucets can meet your needs, and you are not short of money, then Layerzero is worth your experience.
As a cross-chain project, Layerzero itself has opened up the cross-chain bridge between the test network and the main network for the first time, allowing users to directly use the ETH of the main network and L2 to purchase the ETH of the test network.
