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.
