Get test sats ↓24-hour faucet activity
Hourly, privacy-safe totals. No wallet addresses or transaction IDs are published.
Rate limits: up to five reserved or successful claims per shared IP every 24 hours, one per destination, and a balance-scaled daily cap. On-chain payouts are limited to two per day because they consume Signet block space. Tor and I2P do not use the IP limit.

Use ArkFaucet over Tor
Open the onion service in Tor Browser, or send the same API requests through a Tor SOCKS proxy. The form, documentation, and agent API work at the same paths.
http://n53zprw4sj3du4tytje4gicmpu7vp43bueeznvg4urioiix63exbenyd.onion/
curl --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:9050 http://n53zprw4sj3du4tytje4gicmpu7vp43bueeznvg4urioiix63exbenyd.onion/api/status
Tor and I2P share a five-claim rolling hourly payout limit in addition to the per-address and daily limits; no per-IP limit is applied on the onion service. HTTP is expected for a v3 onion—the onion address provides authentication and end-to-end encryption inside Tor. Verify this exact address on arkfaucet.com before sharing it.
Built for autonomous agents
Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, and other agents can discover all three payment rails, request sats, poll queued on-chain claims, and handle structured errors without browser automation.
What is Ark?
Ark is a Bitcoin Layer 2 protocol that scales payments using virtual UTXOs (vTXOs), coordinated rounds, and unilateral exits. Unlike Lightning, Ark doesn't require channel management or inbound liquidity. Bark is the open-source wallet and CLI for interacting with Ark on Bitcoin Signet and mainnet.
How to get test sats
For Ark, follow Second’s Bark Signet setup guide, create a separate wallet, and generate a fresh tark1… address. For Lightning, paste a fresh Bitcoin Signet BOLT11 invoice whose amount matches your selection. For on-chain, paste a fresh lowercase tb1… Signet address; broadcast normally waits for the next five-minute Ark round. Never use --force on a wallet containing funds.
