# How to get Sepolia ETH from a faucet

The [Sepolia testnet](https://www.alchemy.com/overviews/sepolia-testnet) is a proof-of-stake \(PoS\) testnet where Ethereum application developers can test their smart contracts without having to spend real ETH tokens. Because there is no fixed cap on the total number of SepoliaETH tokens that can be minted, Sepolia is the preferred network of developers compared to Goerli.

This article will explain how to get test Sepolia ETH tokens in 3 simple steps.

## 1. Visit Alchemy's faucet

This [Sepolia Faucet](https://www.alchemy.com/faucets/ethereum-sepolia) is managed by Alchemy, and provides developers with a fast and reliable way to collect free sepoliaETH tokens. Unlike many faucets that require social verification through tweets, Alchemy is available to the public without social validation.

## 2. Request SepoliaETH

The final step is to enter your Ethereum wallet address or Ethereum Name Service \(ENS\) domain, and click the "Send Me ETH" button to receive your free test ETH!

Within a few seconds, your Sepolia ETH tokens should arrive in your wallet!

If you don't see sepoliaETH in your wallet, make sure your wallet is connected to a [Sepolia RPC endpoint](https://www.alchemy.com/rpc/ethereum-sepolia).
