# Obtain Free Testnet Tokens

When developping a dApp for Chiliz Chain, you must first test it thoroughly on Spicy Testnet to ensure that it is complete and secure, before deploying it to Chiliz Chain Mainnet.

Since building a dApp requires the use of the CHZ native token in order to pay for transaction. Spicy Testnet has its own native token, which allows you to test without paying Mainnet fees.

You can obtain such test tokens for free on faucets, which are tools that distribute test crypto coins and/or tokens on the testnet. Depending on the blockchain, test tokens can be free, or at least a fraction of the Mainnet token.

There are two Spicy Testnet faucets:

* [Chiliz's Spicy Faucet](https://spicy-faucet.chiliz.com/).
* [Tatum's Chiliz Faucet for Testnet](https://tatum.io/faucets/chiliz).

Both distribute tokens for free, but with a limited number of tokens per day.
