# Get testnet USDT0

> How to get testnet USDT0 via the faucet or by bridging from Ethereum Sepolia.

Stable uses USDT0 as the gas token, so you need USDT0 in your wallet to submit transactions. There are two ways to fund a testnet wallet: the faucet for small amounts, or bridging from Ethereum Sepolia for larger amounts.

## Faucet

The faucet is the fastest way to get testnet USDT0 for basic development and testing.

1. Visit [https://faucet.stable.xyz](https://faucet.stable.xyz).
2. Connect your browser wallet or paste a wallet address.
3. Select the button to receive testnet USDT0.

The faucet sends 1 USDT0 per request, which is enough to deploy and interact with several contracts.

### Verify your balance

Confirm the funds arrived:

```bash theme={"dark"}
cast balance YOUR_ADDRESS --rpc-url https://rpc.testnet.stable.xyz
```

You should see a non-zero value. If the balance is still `0`, wait a few seconds and re-run. Stable produces a new block roughly every 0.7 seconds, so funds settle quickly.

## Bridge from Sepolia (larger amounts)

If you need more USDT0 than the faucet provides, you can bridge Test USDT from Ethereum Sepolia to the Stable Testnet.

### 1. Mint Test USDT on Sepolia

Call the `mint` function on the [Ethereum Sepolia Test USDT contract](https://sepolia.etherscan.io/token/0xc4DCC311c028e341fd8602D8eB89c5de94625927#writeContract) to get the desired amount.

### 2. Bridge to Stable Testnet

Send a cross-chain transfer to the LayerZero bridge contract on Ethereum Sepolia to bridge Test USDT to the Stable Testnet.
