Get Test VLD
What is the faucet?
The testnet faucet distributes free test VLD — tokens with no real-world value that let you experiment with the network without spending anything.
How to get test VLD
Via the website: Go to testnet.valdium.xyz, paste your wallet address, click "Request VLD". You'll receive test tokens within one block (~2 seconds).
Via CLI:
valdium faucet --address 0xYourAddress...Via RPC:
curl -X POST https://testnet.valdium.xyz/faucet \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"address": "0xYourAddress..."}'Rate limits
The faucet is rate-limited to prevent spam: one request per address per hour. This is enough to fund development and testing. If you're running a validator and need more VLD for bonding, contact us on Telegram and we'll send directly.
Testnet tokens have no real value. They exist only for testing. Never send real money to a testnet address, and never assume testnet VLD has monetary value.
How much do you receive?
Each faucet request sends 1,000 VLD — enough to bond as a validator (minimum stake: 1,000 VLD), deploy several contracts, and send hundreds of transactions.
