What's a Network, Anyway?​

In the realm of blockchain technology, a network is a decentralized system of interconnected nodes. These nodes work in harmony to ensure the blockchain runs smoothly, validating transactions, adding them to the blockchain, and maintaining the integrity of the ledger.

What about Faucets?​

A faucet, in the context of blockchain, is a mechanism that provides small amounts of cryptocurrency to users for free. Think of it as a digital tap that drips a small portion of a specific cryptocurrency.

Faucets play a crucial role in the blockchain ecosystem:

  • they offer a friendly introduction to new users by giving them a starting amount of cryptocurrency, and
  • they also aid developers in testing and building blockchain applications by providing the necessary tokens for experimentation.
