# Faucets

Rome's public chains and the bridge run on testnets. Use these faucets to get test tokens.

## Fund a Rome wallet

Every Rome chain's gas token is **USDC** (Circle) — there is **no Rome faucet**. You fund a wallet by **bridging USDC into Rome** from a chain where you can get test USDC. That's the one manual step; after it, deploy and transact normally. Get the USDC and bridge it in using the sources below.

## Bridge in from another chain

The [Rome Bridge](/apps-on-rome/bridge-api.md) moves **USDC** (via CCTP) and **ETH** (via Wormhole) into Rome from six source chains. Fund the source chain first, then bridge.

### USDC — all source chains

The [Circle faucet](https://faucet.circle.com/) mints test USDC on every CCTP source chain — select the chain in the faucet.

### Native gas — per source chain

You also need the source chain's native token to pay its own bridge transaction:

| Source chain     | Chain ID | Native | Faucet                                                                                   |
| ---------------- | -------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Ethereum Sepolia | 11155111 | ETH    | [Google Cloud faucet](https://cloud.google.com/application/web3/faucet/ethereum/sepolia) |
| Arbitrum Sepolia | 421614   | ETH    | [Alchemy faucet](https://www.alchemy.com/faucets/arbitrum-sepolia)                       |
| Base Sepolia     | 84532    | ETH    | [Alchemy faucet](https://www.alchemy.com/faucets/base-sepolia)                           |
| Polygon Amoy     | 80002    | POL    | [Polygon faucet](https://faucet.polygon.technology/)                                     |
| Avalanche Fuji   | 43113    | AVAX   | [Avalanche faucet](https://faucet.avax.network/)                                         |
| Monad Testnet    | 10143    | MON    | [Monad faucet](https://faucet.monad.xyz/)                                                |

ETH bridged via Wormhole comes from Ethereum Sepolia (use the Sepolia ETH faucet above). These are third-party faucets and may rate-limit or change.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.rome.builders/resources/faucets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
