ℹ️ Introduction to Aurora Faucets
To deploy contracts or execute transactions on Aurora, you’ll need a small amount of ETH in your wallet—on both Mainnet and Testnet, as ETH is the native gas token on both chains.
Note: Gas on Aurora is extremely cheap—fixed at 0.07 GWei. For example:
- A simple token transfer costs
0.0000015 ETH($0.006)
- Deploying an ERC-20 contract costs
0.00005 ETH($0.20)
Getting ETH on Aurora Testnet
To obtain ETH for testing purposes, you have several options:
1. Aurora Testnet Faucet → Claim 0.001 ETH directly from the official Aurora faucet.
2. Use the Testnet Rainbow Bridge → Bridge ETH from Near or Ethereum testnets to Aurora Testnet.
3. Use Sepolia Faucets + Bridge → Get Sepolia testnet ETH, then transfer it to Aurora via the Testnet Rainbow Bridge. Find Sepolia faucet options in 
Ethereum Faucets
Once you’ve bridged ETH to your Aurora Testnet wallet, you’re ready to deploy and test your contracts at minimal cost.
