gnofaucet

gnofaucet is a server for distributing GNOT, the gas currency of Gnoland, to specific addresses in a local chain. Interact with the gnofaucet from an address with an empty balance in your locally built testnet to fuel it with GNOT to pay for transactions.

gnofaucet serve test1 --chain-id dev --send 500000000ugnot

Step 3. Receive GNOTs from the faucet

To receive funds through the gnoweb form GUI, you can request them on: http://localhost:8888/faucet (given http://localhost:8888/ is the location where gnoweb is serving pages).

Alternatively, you can request funds from the faucet by directly invoking a CURL command:

curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:5050' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'toaddr={address to receive}'
