A self-hostable, modularized faucet for EVM-compatible blockchain testnets that distributes test ETH with multiple bot-protection mechanisms. Its signature protection is a browser-based proof-of-work mining challenge, complemented by captcha, IP limits, mainnet balance checks, and Gitcoin Passport verification.
Use cases
- run a testnet faucet for an EVM chain
- distribute test ETH without getting drained by bots
- add proof-of-work protection to faucet requests
- verify Gitcoin Passport before dispensing funds
- limit faucet claims per IP address
- self-host a Sepolia or Hoodi faucet
When to choose
- you operate an EVM testnet or private chain and need a spam-resistant faucet
- your faucet funds are low and you need the most efficient protection per dispense
- you want modular, pluggable protection methods like captcha, PoW, and balance checks
When to avoid
- you need a faucet for non-EVM chains like Bitcoin or Solana
- you want a faucet that mines or generates new coins - this only distributes pre-funded test tokens
- you need a fully managed hosted solution without running your own instance
