🔹Using the Testnet Faucet

To support testing, development, and validator onboarding, Orbion provides a public testnet faucet that distributes ORB tokens for free on the Orbion Testnet (Chain ID 9119).

This allows developers to deploy smart contracts, pay gas fees, and simulate real-world activity — all without needing mainnet capital.

🧠 Pro Tips

  • Use a dedicated test wallet to avoid clutter in your primary dev address

  • For large-scale testing, consider setting up a local Orbion node
