Testnet faucets

Phase-0 is testnet only, so you fund your wallet with free test tokens. You generally need two things: a little native gas token (to pay fees) and some test USDC (to send). Links are current as of 2026-05; if a portal moves, search the provider’s docs.

Base Sepolia

Velarum’s recommended starter testnet. Get Base Sepolia ETH for gas from the Alchemy faucet at https://www.alchemy.com/faucets/base-sepolia (paste your address, request). Base also keeps a maintained faucet index at https://docs.base.org/tools/network-faucets.

Ethereum Sepolia

For EVM mainnet-like testing. Get Sepolia ETH from https://www.alchemy.com/faucets/ethereum-sepolia or the Google Cloud Web3 faucet at https://cloud.google.com/application/web3/faucet/ethereum/sepolia.

Solana Devnet

Get Devnet SOL from the web faucet https://faucet.solana.com, or from the CLI:

solana airdrop 2 --url devnet

Test USDC (Circle)

Circle’s testnet faucet mints test USDC on Base Sepolia, Ethereum Sepolia, Solana Devnet, and more at https://faucet.circle.com — select the network, paste your address, and request. Use the asset id that matches your settlement_chain_id (e.g. base_sepolia_usdc).

More chains

Velarum targets ten chains across EVM, Solana, Stellar, and TON families (see Chain adapter model). Each ecosystem publishes its own testnet faucet; start with the three above, which cover the most common Quickstart paths.
