Akash Faucet

Faucet server for the Akash Network

How to use

The faucet is authenticated using Auth0 and the SPA API architecture.

A good example of this setup is the Akash faucet UI.

Users have rate-limited access to the faucet with a configurable wait period. If the manage:faucet permission is given to a user in Auth0, additional endpoints are accessible to view transaction and user history, and manage a list of blocked addresses.

This faucet is configured to work with Akash but will work with any Tendermint SDK based chain.
