Getting tokens on Linea​

There are several ways to get tokens on Linea:

Use a Linea faucet​

If you want to drip Goerli ETH directly to Linea testnet, the following faucets are available. Note that you will need to enter your actual address — ENS names will not work.

  1. Infura Linea faucet
  2. Covalent Linea faucet
  3. FAUCETME faucet

If you want more ETH than the daily allotted amount or run into trouble with the above faucets, you can also bridge ETH to Linea. Note that you'll need to get test ETH on Goerli in order to do so.

If you want to drip other tokens, you can find the multi-token Linea faucet here, which lists the different tokens you can add to your wallet on the Goerli and Linea Goerli testnet.

  3. Navigate to the list of faucets linked through the Goerli card
  4. Select a faucet and drip Goerli ETH

Get other tokens on Goerli​

If you want to get tokens that are not ETH or USDC, you'll need to lock ETH as a countermeasure for draining liquidity pools.

For example, if you wanted to get 1 USDT on Goerli, you would:

  1. Navigate to the Linea faucet
  2. Connect your MetaMask wallet
  3. Select the Goerli network in your MetaMask wallet

  5. Lock 0.0005 ETH by typing in 0.0005 on the USDT card, clicking claim, and confirming and paying the gas for the MetaMask transaction.

To get your ETH back, you would unwrap your USDT in the USDT card to receive ETH in a 2000:1 ratio. For example, to get back 0.0005 ETH, you would need to unwrap 1 USDT by typing in 1 on the USDT card, clicking unwrap, and confirming and paying the gas for the MetaMask transaction.
