While this guide describes no active testing of the Hydranet Alpha build, it is just as important. It will show you how to acquire testnet funds to be used in your testing once your Hydranet wallet is set up.

Request testnet funds

With your wallet synced and ready for testing, the final step is to request testnet funds. Here’s how to do it: 

1. Locate your wallet address
   Navigate to the Wallet page and click on the receive button for the asset you want to receive. Select Receive on Layer 1 (on-chain) and click Next. 
2. Visit the testnet faucet channel
   Copy your wallet address and head over to Hydranet’s Discord. Locate the testnet-faucet-bot channel. 
3. Request funds
   To request funds, send your wallet address in the channel and follow the instructions.

The testnet faucet will send you the requested funds. Please avoid making multiple requests, as a single allocation is sufficient for your testing needs, unless otherwise stated. Once you're complete with your testing, kindly return any remaining testnet funds to the faucet by following the instructions provided in the faucet channel.
