Configuration

Note: The faucet contract is supported to be deployed to multiple chains.

Contract address

The contract address which manages the fund on the EVM-compatible blockchain is an environment variable created in the following format:

FAUCET_CONTRACT_ADDRESS_{chain_id}={address}

• chain_id: The ID of the chain in decimal (eg. Ethereum ID = 1, ..). See https://chainlist.org/.
• address: The address of the contract on the chain.

It could be defined in the .env file.

Contract owner's address

The contract owner's address is an environment variable created in the following format:

FAUCET_CONTRACT_OWNER_PRIVATE_KEY_{chain_id}={address}

• chain_id: The ID of the chain in decimal (eg. Ethereum ID = 1, ..). See https://chainlist.org/.
• address: The address of the owner of the contract on the chain.

It could be defined in the .env file.

Contract ABI

The contract ABI is stored in src/app/data/contract-abi.json.

Chain RPCs

The list of supported chain RPCs is stored in src/app/data/supported-chains.json with the following format:

{
    "{chain_id}": {
        "rpc": "{rpc_url}"
    },
    ...
}

API

There is only an API provided:

Claim API

POST /claim

Body params:

• chainId: The ID of the chain in decimal (eg. Ethereum ID = 1, ..). See https://chainlist.org/.
• address: The address where the faucet should send the fund to.
