The hidden faucet doesn't work on testnet. Apparently, the transaction is Invalid.

Example:

Any idea how to get some xEGLD on the testnet?

  • **DO NOT post images of code, data, error messages, etc.** - copy or type the text into the question. [ask] – Rob Oct 02 '21 at 20:03
  • The testnet is reset once in a while, the link will stop working then. – Martin W Oct 03 '21 at 16:59
  • Please use the devnet for testing adn development purposes. It's more stable and it has more developer tools (including the xEGLD Faucet). – Mircea Oct 04 '21 at 15:06
  • @Mircea yes but sadly the functionality I needed was not available on the testnet at the time of this post. The devnet could not complie contracts using elrond-wasm 0.19.x – Razvan M. Oct 05 '21 at 20:00

There are 2 web interfaces to request xEGLD for non-production environments.

Testnet

  1. https://r3d4.fr/elrond/testnet/index.php (3rd party)

    • max 5 / 24 hours

  2. https://testnet-wallet.elrond.com/faucet (official)

    • max 10 / 24 hours
    • This calls the following endpoint https://testnet-extras-api.elrond.com/faucet under the hood.

P.S. During the competitions like Battle of Yields, the faucets can be temporarily disabled.

Devnet

  1. https://r3d4.fr/elrond/devnet/index.php (3rd party)

    • max 5 / 24 hours

  2. https://devnet-wallet.elrond.com/faucet (official)

    • max 10 / 24 hours
    • This calls the following endpoint https://devnet-extras-api.elrond.com/faucet under the hood.

P.S.: Meanwhile, I've sent 2 xEGLD to you:

    @Rob, did you read the question, and did you visit the URLs I provided? They are web interfaces built to generate xEGLD, so some HTML forms, not web pages with code that can be copied here. What you are saying is applicable in a different context, not here. – ROMANIA_engineer Oct 02 '21 at 20:25
  • If you removed the links, is the question still solved and answered? – Rob Oct 02 '21 at 20:31
  • This answers my question perfectly. Thanks! Also thanks for the gift :) – Razvan M. Oct 02 '21 at 21:08
  • @Rob, I am sure that if someone will search similar info in the future, (s)he wants to see those 2 links. The first one is official, the second one is maintained by a partner (3rd party). I'd say that the first one will never be removed. I'd make an analogy to a "download URL" or "API URL" from official websites. There are posts in StackOverflow where the URLs become deprecated after a while. Then someone adds a comment to emphasize the problem and they are usually updated. I will add some other details on the endpoints above to offer a better context. – ROMANIA_engineer Oct 02 '21 at 21:09
  • @MerdescuR. , The 2nd option ( https://r3d4.fr/elrond/testnet/index.php ) works now. You can request 5 EGLD / day using it. I tested it here: https://testnet-explorer.elrond.com/transactions/dd139aa08a8b9452d2477efea8e650710b3459415d8ae0e4f50df7ba4717d7d9 – ROMANIA_engineer Oct 05 '21 at 18:31
  • @ROMANIA_engineer thanks! – Razvan M. Oct 05 '21 at 19:59
