In NEAR Playground

When developing in NEAR Playground, you don’t need to worry about testnet tokens. We handle all the token logic for you automatically - your contracts are deployed and funded without any manual setup.

​
External Development

If you’re doing external development (local development, using NEAR CLI, etc.) and need testnet NEAR for an external account, you can use the NEAR Playground faucet:
  1. Click Faucet in the header navigation
  2. Enter your testnet address (e.g., myaccount.testnet)
  3. Click Request - 1 NEAR will be sent to your account
NEAR Faucet
You can request tokens once every 24 hours. Testnet tokens have no real value and are only for development and testing purposes.

Alternative

  • near-cli - Use near create-account command to create a funded testnet account
