What Is the Spectrum Monad Faucet?
The Monad faucet is a free Spectrum Nodes service that drips 0.2 MON every 24 hours to your testnet wallet. A testnet faucet sends test tokens that pay gas on a testnet, so you build without spending mainnet funds. Monad's testnet is where you test for Monad, the parallel execution EVM layer 1 whose mainnet launched on November 24, 2025 (Monad Foundation). Use the MON to deploy contracts, test dApps and infrastructure, interact with the Monad ecosystem and try Monad's performance.

How Do I Get a Free Monad Testnet RPC?
An RPC endpoint is the URL your wallet or app uses to read from a chain and send transactions to it. In the Spectrum dashboard, pick the chain, choose mainnet or testnet and a pruned or archive node, and you get RPC and WebSocket URLs for each region. Spectrum covers 200+ chains, including testnets, and has a Free plan. Not every chain is on the Free tier, so check Monad testnet in the dashboard or on our networks page before you build on it.
Which Other Testnet Faucets Does Spectrum Run?
Spectrum's free tier includes five testnet faucets. Besides Monad, you can claim test tokens on Ethereum Sepolia, Arbitrum Sepolia, Base Sepolia and Optimism Sepolia.
