Faucet rules
• An unauthenticated request sends 1 CELO. An authenticated one sends 3 CELO.
• You are considered authenticated if you either sign-in with GitHub, own 0.01 ETH on eth-mainnet, or own 100 LockedCelo on celo-mainnet
• You may faucet 4 times a day if unauthenticated.
• You may faucet 10 times a day if authenticated, for 3 CELO a time.
• Requests made with an API key skip the captcha and draw from the same daily allowance as your GitHub sign-in.
How do I get Celo Sepolia testnet tokens?
Paste the address you want funded into the form on this page and submit it. The faucet sends 1 CELO on Celo Sepolia, chain ID 11142220. Signing in with GitHub raises that to 3 CELO and raises your allowance from 4 to 10 requests a day.
How much CELO does each request send?
1 CELO for an unauthenticated request and 3 CELO for an authenticated one. Only the native CELO token is dispensed; for USDC use faucet.circle.com, and for Mento stablecoins swap CELO at app.mento.org.
Does the Celo faucet have an API?
Yes. POST to https://faucet.celo.org/api/faucet with a beneficiary address and a network, then poll https://faucet.celo.org/api/status with the request key it returns to get the transaction hash. The schema is published at https://faucet.celo.org/openapi.json.
How can an AI agent or a script get testnet CELO?
The browser flow is gated on reCAPTCHA v3, which scores headless callers badly and cannot be solved without driving a real browser. Create an API key instead and send it as a bearer token, which skips the captcha. A key changes how you prove who you are, not how much you can request.
