Citrea Faucet Rules
- Each wallet can claim free testnet tokens on Citrea up to 10 times per day
- There is a 60 minute cooldown between successful claims
- Captcha verification is required before token delivery
- The tokens distributed here are testnet gas only and have no monetary value
- Spam, abuse, or automated draining may result in restriction
These rules help keep the Citrea Testnet Faucet available for developers, testers, and blockchain learners. The goal is to distribute free Citrea testnet gas fairly while preventing abuse and ensuring reliable access to the network.
You only need a public EVM wallet address and captcha verification to receive free Citrea testnet tokens. Use the same address configured in MetaMask or your development wallet; no account, social login, wallet balance, or private information is required.
Why Use Citrea Testnet?
Citrea is the first scaling solution that expands the capabilities of Bitcoin, functioning as a high-performance ZK-Rollup with full EVM equivalence secured directly by Bitcoin. The Citrea Faucet gives builders the testnet tokens needed to test transactions and smart contracts without spending real assets.
Citrea Testnet works seamlessly with standard EVM developer tooling such as Hardhat, Foundry, Remix IDE, MetaMask, ethers.js, and web3.js. It provides an optimal environment for deploying smart contracts, exploring Bitcoin-backed rollups, and validating application logic before launching on mainnet.
Citrea Testnet is suitable for smart contract developers, Bitcoin ecosystem builders, infrastructure engineers, auditors, QA teams, students, and anyone experimenting with Bitcoin-secured EVM scalability.
What Is a Citrea Testnet Faucet?
A Citrea Testnet Faucet distributes free testnet tokens that developers use to pay gas fees on the Citrea network. It allows anyone to test smart contracts, execute transactions, and build decentralized applications without spending real funds.
Every transaction on Citrea Testnet requires testnet gas, including smart contract deployments, token transfers, and dApp interactions.

Why Your Citrea Testnet Claim Failed
Cooldown active: Your wallet may need to wait until the 60 minute cooldown ends before claiming again.
Captcha failed: Refresh the page and complete captcha verification again.
Invalid address: Make sure you entered a valid EVM wallet address.
Wrong network selected: Your wallet may be showing Ethereum Sepolia, Base Sepolia, or another network instead of Citrea Testnet.
Temporary delay: High demand, RPC network conditions, or faucet queue load may cause a brief delay in token delivery.
Are Citrea Testnet Tokens Free?
Yes. Tokens from the Citrea Faucet are completely free to claim and use for testing. They hold no monetary value and cannot be transferred to mainnet networks.
The purpose of free testnet tokens is to remove entry barriers for developers, learners, and creators who want to build on the Bitcoin scaling ecosystem without financial commitment.
Why Does the Faucet Use Cooldown?
The Citrea Faucet uses a cooldown system to maintain fair distribution across all users. Without rate limits, automated bots could drain the faucet balance quickly, leaving real developers without testnet gas.
The cooldown ensures fair availability for developers, testers, learners, and community members who need tokens throughout the day.
How Long Does Delivery Take?
Most successful claims are delivered within seconds. Delivery time may vary slightly during high traffic periods or temporary network congestion on Citrea Testnet.
If the balance does not update immediately in your wallet, check that your wallet is connected to Citrea Testnet RPC and refresh your account view.
Common Citrea Testnet Faucet Errors
Balance not visible: Verify that your wallet is set to Citrea Testnet and that the address matches the one used for the claim.
Request rejected: Wait out the active cooldown, double-check your wallet address, and complete the captcha challenge again.
Token not delivered yet: Allow a few moments for block confirmation and refresh your wallet.
Wrong address: Use your public EVM wallet address, not a private key or non-EVM address format.
