Faucet

Devnet, Testnet, and local networks include faucets that mint IOTA. You can use the IOTA TypeScript SDK to call a network's faucet and provide IOTA to the address you provide.

To request IOTA from a faucet, import the requestIotaFromFaucetV0 function from the @iota/iota-sdk/faucet package to your project.

import { getFaucetHost, requestIotaFromFaucetV0 } from '@iota/iota-sdk/faucet';

Use requestIotaFromFaucetV0 in your TypeScript code to request IOTA from the network's faucet.

await requestIotaFromFaucetV0({
    host: getFaucetHost('testnet'),
    recipient: <RECIPIENT_ADDRESS>,
});
