How to Send and Receive Testnet Tokens

Sending and receiving testnet tokens is a basic on-chain activity required to test transactions, smart contracts, and blockchain integrations. On test networks such as Sepolia, these tokens are used only for testing and have no real-world value.

What You Need Before Starting

Before sending or receiving testnet tokens, make sure that:

• Your wallet is connected to the Sepolia test network

• You have enough Sepolia ETH to cover gas fees

• You are using a compatible wallet such as MetaMask

How to Receive Testnet Tokens

To receive Sepolia ETH or other testnet tokens:

1. Open your wallet

2. Ensure the selected network is Sepolia

3. Copy your wallet address

4. Share this address with the sender or paste it into a faucet

5. Wait for the transaction to be confirmed

Once confirmed, the tokens will appear in your wallet balance.

How to Send Testnet Tokens

To send testnet tokens from your wallet:

1. Open your wallet

2. Select the Sepolia network

3. Click Send

4. Enter the recipient’s wallet address

5. Specify the amount to send

6. Review the transaction details

7. Confirm the transaction

The transaction will be broadcast to the testnet and processed by the network.

Common Issues and Tips

• If the transaction is pending, wait for network confirmation

• Always double-check the wallet address before sending

• Ensure you are on the correct network before confirming

• Insufficient gas may cause a transaction to fail

Important Notes

• Testnet tokens are irreversible once sent

• Testnet transactions may behave differently from mainnet transactions

• Tokens used on testnets have no monetary value

• Do not send testnet tokens to mainnet or exchange addresses
