<Accordiontitle="What is a faucet?">
26
+
A faucet is an application that dispenses free tokens on a Testnet (a blockchain network used for development and testing). The Stacks faucet provides developers with free test tokens for deploying, testing, and optimizing smart contracts that leverage STX and sBTC.

28
+
**It's important to remember that Testnet tokens have no real-world value and cannot be sold or used on the main Stacks network.**

<Accordiontitle="How does the faucet work?">
31
+
Select the type of test token you wish to receive and enter the wallet address where you want to receive them. The faucet will create a transaction on the Stacks Testnet that sends a small amount of test tokens to the provided address.

If you're curious, you can track the transaction's status using [Stacks Explorer](https://explorer.stacks.so/).
