Goerli Testnet faucets!

General
1

It can be hard to come across working testnet faucets, so I'm maintaining a list of the best working ones available. If you come across another good faucet (especially one that does not require authentication) please feel free to add it to the list here.

Alchemy Goerli faucet
Goerli Authenticated faucet
Paradigm Goerli Authenticated faucet

Alternatives

Check out the post here for Rinkeby testnet faucets.

For those who use Hardhat, one other option for development that I will include here is to fork mainnet and work locally. This opens up a whole other exciting can of worms since you get to interact with mainnet transactions without spending any real ETH. Hardhat has a great reference for this here:

Most likely, you will want to "pin" to a given block number. That way, you are able to ensure that the state of the blockchain will not change and break the behavior of your tests.

I've developed a proof of work based faucet which is available for goerli:
https://goerli-faucet.pk910.de

I know this extra work is annoying, but it's hopefully working better against these faucet bots, is free and doesn't require authentication.

My laptop sounds like a helicopter. :cowboy_hat_face: I'm worrying that before I get 1 goerli eth it will fly me to the moon.

Bro your work of faucet mining is just amazing and wonderful creation. I like the attitude of helping people but this work is so innovative that we can actually mine instead of opening links just to find the one that works, Means alot and working to see more from you : )

pk910 - I'd like to create a similar goerli faucet for an intro course I am preparing. How would I go about creating something like this? Can you send any pointers to get me started?

Heya,
The faucet is open source and on GitHub: https://github.com/pk910/PoWFaucet
But I think you misinterpret what the faucet does. The "mining" you're doing in the faucet does not generate new coins.
It's just a way to limit the amount of funds that can be requested from the faucet (Limit is 2k GöETH/day in total).
If you want to run such a faucet yourself you need to gather the funds you want to distribute yourself.

How do faucets such as alchemy or yours gather the funds in the first place, they have to come from somewhere???

What I have generally seen is that someone reaches out to (Alchemy, a testnet OG dev) and asks for them to send some testnet ETH for this sort of pupose.

Maybe you can have a check on this: https://collect-test-eth.org/ if you have ever deployed a contract.

I made another faucet that gives you goerli daily and you can get some in big quantities here: https://bigoerlifaucet.com
