Bitcoin Signet Faucet

About Signet and This Page

This page provides access to a Bitcoin Signet Faucet. Signet is a specialized Bitcoin test network where developers can mint, send, and receive test assets without real-world costs.

What is Signet?

• Test Network: Signet allows developers to safely test Bitcoin features in a controlled environment, avoiding costs and risks associated with mainnet BTC.
• Customizable and Permissioned: Unlike Testnet, Signet prevents spam by requiring block signatures for block production. This makes it ideal for focused experimentation and testing.
• Developer-Friendly OP_CODES: Signet is being actively used to test several proposed OP_CODES and advanced features that could enable new Bitcoin use cases:
  • OP_CTV (CheckTemplateVerify): Enables transaction "covenants," where spending outputs must follow specific predefined templates. This allows for:
    • Trustless vaults (improving security for Bitcoin funds).
    • Batching and congestion control through pre-signed transactions.
    • Advanced payment channels for layer-2 scaling solutions.
  • OP_CAT (Concatenate): Originally removed from Bitcoin, OP_CAT is being explored to allow concatenation of data in scripts. This enables:
    • More dynamic and programmable Bitcoin transactions.
    • Potential use cases for covenants alongside OP_CTV.
  • OP_APO (AnyPrevOut): Allows BIP-118 "SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUT," enabling transactions that do not commit to a specific input. Use cases include:
    • Eltoo payment channels for simplified state updates in layer-2 systems.
    • Improved flexibility for fee management and offline signing.

If you're experimenting with Bitcoin Taproot Assets or covenant-based transactions, this faucet is here to provide you with free Signet BTC for testing.
