TON testnet wallet setup and faucet

Rivyu is experimental testnet software. This page is for onboarding and mechanics only — not investment, tax, or legal advice. Never share seed phrases; use only official links from this site or from inside the Rivyu Mini App.
Switch your wallet to TON testnet

In Tonkeeper (and most TON Connect wallets), open settings and change the active network from Mainnet to Testnet. Rivyu testnet activity expects testnet addresses and balances — mainnet TON sent to a testnet address will not "magically" appear.

Get free test TON from an official faucet bot

The Rivyu FAQ recommends Telegram's official testnet faucet bot pattern (search for @testgiver_ton_bot inside Telegram). Follow the bot instructions and keep receipts in your wallet history for debugging.

Faucets throttle abuse; if you do not receive funds immediately, wait and retry rather than spamming transactions.

Inspect what you are doing on-chain

Use a testnet explorer (for example testnet.tonscan.org) to verify transfers, jetton wallets, and contract calls while you learn. Explorers are the fastest way to separate "UI bug" from "wallet on wrong network" from "contract reverted".

Rivyu publishes multiple on-chain addresses for transparency; see About for the live list and links.
