# Testnet Faucets

## What are faucets?

* Testnet faucets provide free test tokens for developers and testers to try early-stage dApps without having to use real cryptocurrency. Testnet environment functions very similarly to mainnet, requiring gas to cover each transaction, however testnet tokens have no real-world value
* For ease of access, Malda has deployed two mock testnet tokens (USDC + wstETH) which are not the official testnet tokens running under these tickers. Users can claim from these faucets hourly by inputting their wallet address.
* Make sure to have testnet ETH in your wallet for each supported chain to cover gas fees.
