Using Testnet & Getting Test KTA
Overview
The Keeta Testnet is a sandbox environment that lets you safely explore Alpaca without using real assets.
Testnet tokens have no real value and are intended for learning, testing, and experimentation.
Step 1: Switch to Testnet
To change networks in the Alpaca app:
- Open Settings
- Tap Keeta Network
- Select Test
Your wallet is now connected to the Keeta Testnet.
Step 2: Copy Your Wallet Address
From the wallet home screen:
• Tap your wallet address (e.g., keeta_aab…)
• The address is automatically copied to your clipboard
Step 3: Request Test KTA
To receive test tokens:
- Open the Keeta faucet:
https://faucet.test.keeta.com/ - Paste your wallet address into the address field
- Enter an amount (up to 10 KTA per request)
- Submit the request
You can repeat this process multiple times to receive additional test KTA.
Step 4: Confirm Funds
Return to the Alpaca Wallet and refresh the screen.
Your balance should now display approximately 10.00 KTA on Testnet.
Notes
- Testnet tokens have no real-world value
- Testnet is ideal for learning how swaps, transfers, and token creation work
- You can switch back to Mainnet at any time from Settings → Keeta Network
