# Get Test TAV

> Request Test TAV from the faucet, understand the address cooldown and claim process, and review availability and claim-data retention.

Request Test TAV to pay for testnet transfers and contract execution. The faucet provides **1 Test TAV per address per 24 hours**, subject to challenge verification and available balance.

## Request tokens

1. Select [Tavchain Testnet](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/connect.md) in your wallet and copy your public `0x` address.
2. Open [faucet.tavchain.safeney.com](https://faucet.tavchain.safeney.com/).
3. Enter the address and complete the Cloudflare Turnstile challenge.
4. Follow the claim screen and save the resulting transaction hash.
5. Check the [receipt](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/api/transaction.md) and your wallet balance on Tavchain Testnet.

A claimable reward or queued request is not a confirmed payout. If the result is unclear, inspect the existing claim and transaction hash before requesting again.

The faucet does not require mining, a GitHub account, a mainnet balance or a wallet connection just to paste an address. Never provide a seed phrase, private key or wallet password, and do not buy test tokens.

## Limits and availability

Wait 24 hours between claims to the same address. Challenge and abuse protection can also limit requests; see [Troubleshooting](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/troubleshooting.md).

The faucet has a finite Test TAV balance with no automatic refill. Requests depend on service availability and remaining funds. Its initial allocation is listed in [Tavcoin](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/learn/tavcoin.md#testnet-genesis-allocation).

## Claim data

Claim records include recipient addresses and IP addresses. Records are retained for **60 days** under the current faucet policy. Review this before making a request.

Test TAV is for development and has no monetary value.
