Hedera Testnet Faucet
The Hedera faucet allows you to quickly create and fund a testnet account without creating a developer portal account. The faucet flow auto-creates an account when you enter an EVM wallet address to receive testnet HBAR.
Step 2: Fund your testnet account
Enter your EVM wallet address in the Enter Wallet Address field and
Click the RECEIVE 100 TESTNET HBAR button to initiate an auto account creation flow that creates and funds a new testnet account
⚠️ Important
When you use an EVM wallet address for the first time, Auto Account Creation kicks in to establish a new Hedera account linked to your EVM address.
This process creates a hollow account, an account with an ID and alias but no key. Hollow accounts can receive HBAR and tokens, but it cannot transfer tokens from the account or modify any account properties until the account key has been added and the account is complete.
To complete the account, use it as the fee payer in a transaction and sign with the ECDSA private key tied to the EVM address. Once completed, the account works like any regular Hedera account.
