# Testnet Faucets

## What it is

Usually, testnets are used to get more familiar with the network and test different features. In a lot of cases you need to have tokens to perform operations in the network testnets.

Faucet allows users to provide their public addresses and receive tokens to interact with testnet.

## How to use

Get testnet HMND tokens by performing the steps below:

* Go to the chains page, find the section for the testnet you are interested in, look up the Telegram Faucet entry and start a Telegram chat with the specified bot by clicking the URL.

{% content-ref url="../chains" %}
[chains](https://gitbook.humanode.io/docs/chains)
{% endcontent-ref %}

* Send the command `/gettokens` and follow the prompts.
* The bot will respond with a message that represents the status of your request.

  After the status changes to "The transaction with your tokens has been submitted: `0xa000…000`." you should have obtained the tokens.
