🪙 Testnet Faucet

This is a faucet for private Ethereum testnet.

How to Use 🍕

Step 1: Create config file and faucet account.

• Create account file faucet_account in config folder (Note that if multiple accounts exist, only the first account will be used as the faucet account). This can be done by, e.g., calling web3.eth.accounts.create, encrypting it with a password web3.eth.accounts.wallet.encrypt and then saving to config/faucet_account.

• Create a config file config.json in config folder. It should include properties in the following table.

Property	Description
rpcURL	The ip address and port of your private testnet
payoutFrequency	The waiting time (in seconds) between consecutive payments.
dailyLimit	The daily supply limit (in ether) for a single account address.
serverPort	The port to run express server. Default to 8000.

• A simple example:

{
    "rpcURL": "http://12.34.56.78:90",
    "payoutFrequency": 10,
    "dailyLimit": 10,
    "serverPort": 8000
}

Step 2: Build client.

You can customize the name of your testnet in the faucet-panel component.

cd client 
npm install
npm run build
cd ..

Step 3: Run server.
