Polkadot Testnet Faucets (2025)

Polkadot testnets

EVM-compatible parachain testnets

Substrate / native parachain testnets

  • Unique Network — OpalTelegram bot @UniqueFaucetBot for OPL. https://t.me/unique2faucet_opal_bot

  • HydraDX / Hydration (Rococo env.)Discord #testnet-faucet uses slash commands like /drip. (See team’s docs/Discord for the exact command and limits.)

  • Bifrost (testnet) — Faucet instructions via site/Discord (tokens vary by scenario: vDOT, etc.). (Check Bifrost docs for current faucet and token symbols.)

  • Pendulum / Amplitude — Docs include a Testnet Faucet; AMPE is also available via portal “Get AMPE.” (Follow portal prompts; some flows require a connected wallet.)

  • Zeitgeist (beta/test)Discord faucet with !drip in the specified channel. (Syntax and cooldowns are pinned.)

  • Interlay / Kintsugi — Repos include a faucet client used on testnets. (Run locally or use their staging faucet where available.)

Usage notes & troubleshooting

  • Address format: Use the correct SS58 or EVM address for the network you’re targeting.
  • Cooldowns & caps: Many faucets enforce per-address and per-IP limits. Wait the cooldown or try again later.
  • Bots & verification: Some Discord/Telegram faucets require Captcha or account age checks.
  • Bridging test funds: Avoid trying to bridge testnet tokens between ecosystems; use each network’s faucet instead.
  • Stuck claims: If a claim “succeeds” but balance doesn’t update, confirm you’re viewing the right network/testnet in your wallet, then check the explorer for your address.
