Get Test Tokens
Everything on Arc Testnet runs on testnet USDC - payments and gas. One faucet visit covers both.
Circle Faucet (recommended)
- Go to faucet.circle.com
- Select Arc Testnet as the network
- Paste your wallet address
- Request USDC
Tokens usually arrive within seconds. Check your balance in the Aruvi Wallet page or on ArcScan.
Bridging from other chains
Already have testnet USDC on Ethereum Sepolia, Base Sepolia, or another chain? Bridge it into Arc with the Deposit page in the app - it uses Circle's CCTP under the hood, so USDC is burned on the source chain and minted natively on Arc.
See the full Deposit guide.
How much do I need?
| Action | Cost |
|---|---|
| Sending a payment | amount + ~ $0.01 gas |
| Creating a request | ~ $0.01 gas |
| Multi-send (100 recipients) | total amount + a few cents gas |
A single faucet request is plenty for extensive testing.
Testnet only
Arc Testnet USDC has no real-world value. Never send real funds to testnet addresses.
