How to Get Neo N3 TestNet GAS
Deploying a Smart Contract to the N3 TestNet
The Neo N3 TestNet is a network that allows developers to test their smart contracts before deploying them to the MainNet.
TestNet uses $NEO and $GAS tokens that are not real. They are used for testing purposes only. Deploying a contract to TestNet allows you and other developers, wallets and explorers to interact with it.
Requesting TestNet GAS
Deploying a smart contract requires 10 $GAS. You can request it using the Faucet or Discord. You can only request $GAS once every 24 hours.
