Listed at /reference/faucet, which also has the current claim amount and cooldown.

4

4. Submit your address

Complete any verification the faucet asks for.

5

5. Wait for the transaction to land

Then check your balance.

Verify it worked

Your wallet's Beam testnet balance increases by the claim amount listed at /reference/faucet. You can also confirm the incoming transaction on the Beam explorer.

Troubleshooting

"Please wait before claiming again"

The faucet is on a per-address cooldown; check /reference/faucet for the current cooldown period.

Funds don't show up in your wallet

Confirm your wallet is actually on Beam testnet (chain ID matches /reference/networks), not the retired network. Funds sent to a Beam address won't appear while your wallet is pointed elsewhere.

Faucet URL looks unfamiliar or different from one you used before

Always use the URL currently listed at /reference/faucet rather than one bookmarked from an older guide; faucet endpoints can change.
