TON testnet tokens are free test coins you can use for development and testing on the TON testnet network. They let you experiment and build without spending actual Toncoin.

## Get Toncoins from the testnet faucet bot

The Testgiver TON Bot is a Telegram bot that dispenses 2 free test Toncoins to users, allowing them to experiment on testnet.

To request testnet tokens:

1. Open [@testgiver\_ton\_bot](https://t.me/testgiver_ton_bot) in your browser. You'll see a prompt asking if you want to open Telegram. Click **Open Telegram**.

2. Once the bot opens, you'll see the bot info. Click **START** to begin.

/>

3. The bot will welcome you and you have two options to request TON:

- **Option 1**: Click the **Get 2 TON** in testnet button.

/>

- **Option 2**: Click **Menu** and then select the `/get` command.

/>

Either option will take you to the next step.

4. You'll be asked to complete a captcha. Click on the captcha image to open it in full size, then carefully enter the characters you see.

alt="Captcha screen"
/>

5. Once the captcha is complete, you'll be prompted to enter your wallet address. Paste your testnet wallet address when prompted. Make sure you're using your **testnet** wallet address, not your mainnet address.

<Aside type="caution">Double-check that you're pasting your testnet wallet address. Mainnet and testnet addresses are different. See [How to read and write user-friendly TON addresses](/ton/addresses/writing-and-reading-addresses#how-to-read-and-write-ton-addresses)</Aside>

<Image
src="/resources/images/wallets/fund-wallet/enter-address-light.png"
darkSrc="/resources/images/wallets/fund-wallet/enter-address-dark.png"
alt="Enter wallet address"
/>

6. Once you submit your address, you'll see a confirmation message that your request has been added to the queue. The bot will process your request and send 2 testnet TON to your address shortly.

alt="Request confirmed"
/>

**That's it!** Wait a few seconds and the testnet TON will appear in your wallet.

## Verify your balance

After requesting tokens, refresh your wallet to see the updated balance, or verify the transaction on [Tonviewer Testnet](https://testnet.tonviewer.com/).

1. Open [Tonviewer Testnet](https://testnet.tonviewer.com/) and paste your wallet address in the search bar. Click **Find** to search.

alt="Tonviewer search"
/>

2. You'll see your wallet details including your balance and transaction history showing the testnet TON you received from the bot. Your wallet state will show **uninit**, which means your wallet has received funds but hasn't been deployed yet.

alt="Wallet balance showing uninit state"
/>

**All done!** You now have TON in your wallet and can start building and testing on testnet without any cost.
