Sepolia is an Ethereum test network used for testing smart contracts and on-chain interactions. To perform transactions on the Sepolia testnet, you need Sepolia ETH, which is a test token with no real monetary value.
Sepolia ETH can be obtained for free using a testnet faucet.
What Is a Faucet?
A faucet is a service that distributes small amounts of testnet tokens to users for development and testing purposes. Faucets are commonly used on test networks to allow users to perform on-chain transactions without using real funds.
One of the most commonly used options is the Google Sepolia Faucet.
