Hey PolkaFam, With XCM channels exploding already, we should presume the upcoming wave of next-gen Polkadot dApps is quite near! Most of them will leverage multiple parachains and solochains simultaneously. To cater this future need I’m hyped to chat about a universal faucet idea to make crosschain…

The Universal Hybrid Substrate Faucet: The contributors have decided to vest 50% of the treasury grant for 1 year. Considering 500$ per chain integration. Reference $DOT price: 8$ Requesting Amount: 4312 $DOT Address: 14XNJmoUzkvmh9cYoqG4axBRR4BWzWRbnFP79oiZgKu7V9bz

Hello @Hustler , this is Ryan from SubWallet. Thanks for sharing the idea. I think this is something needed for the ecosystem. I’d add mainnet tokens as well because that would help attract new users experience the whole Polkadot ecosystem. We also had the same idea, and did a test with Parallel in…

Thank you for the Suggestion @RyanDinh . We decided to start with the Testnet Faucet to see the feedback from other users and based on that we wanted to make adjustments and add the mainnets later. We can certainly discuss this more, Here is my TG: @gmeister7

gm! we already have this faucet which covers multiple testnets. Teams can get added to this easily :slight_smile: Polkadot Faucet

Thank you for the reply @Birdo . That faucet is designed for Relaychains and common parachains. Also it does not offer support for single-click multi-chain disbursements at this time. Being a Hybrid Faucet it will be useful with the new Polkadot EVM initiative.

Why use testnet if you can fork all the mainnet parachains locally with Chopsticks and mint yourself infinite amount of assets?

Thank you for the reply @xlc The local deployments won’t be accessible for anyone else to test. So we need the testnets for mass testing, especially the testnet campaigns. Also, the local forks by Chopsticks are comparatively quite slow as of now and create the blocks on demand instead of continuo…

It is possible to make Chopsticks to produce block periodically just like a normal network. There is no reason you can’t put it on a public for public to test it.

A one click disbursement can be built via UI? I don’t believe it needs any special tech behind it. Teams are welcome to provide tokens for the faucet mentioned above and have their testnet chains also listed in the UI.

@Birdo Maybe this can be combined with the new testnet? The new Polkadot community testnet
