ℹ️ Introduction to Somnia Faucets
To experiment on the Somnia Shannon Testnet, you’ll need STT tokens. These tokens are not real and carry no economic value—they exist solely for testing and development.
A faucet is a service that distributes free STT tokens to developers and users so they can interact with the network. By requesting tokens from the faucet, you can fund your wallet and begin:
- Sending Tokens – Transfer STT between accounts to test Somnia’s high throughput and sub-second finality.
- Exploring dApps – Use STT within live applications on the Somnia App Hub, including DeFi, gaming, and NFT projects.
- Testing Swaps – Swap mock ERC-20 tokens such as PING and PONG to validate contract interactions.
- Staking – Stake your STT on testnet validators and simulate reward distribution.
How to Get STT from the Somnia Faucet
Request STT via Faucet
- Visit the official Somnia Faucet.
- Connect your wallet and click Request Tokens.
- The faucet will send test STT directly to your wallet.
- Confirm receipt in your wallet or by checking your address in the Somnia Explorer.
