Bitcoin Atom team announces release of Testnet BCA Faucet, ahead of the upcoming major “Tritium” release.

We have observed a steady demand for testnet BCA coins from various developers. Coincidentally, one of our development priorities entailed bringing such a tool to the ecosystem of Bitcoin Atom apps.

It is common in the blockchain app space to let developers claim testnet coins at any time, so that app development is made easier.

Today we are happy to announce long-term support for Bitcoin Atom Testnet Faucet and its operability, just as we previously did with BCA official Block Explorers.

BCA faucet allows anyone to have free BCA (testnet) sent to their Bitcoin Atom on-chain / lightning wallets for testing purposes. Once the user is done with the test coins, it is a nice gesture to send them back to the faucet, so that other developers may use them.

Testnet BCA (or tBCA) are necessary for building apps featuring Bitcoin Atom, such as:

- Tritium

- Merchant services

- Lightning apps, e.g. lightning-wallet.com

- BCA programming libraries

- Mobile, desktop and web wallets

- Web services

We have all of the aforementioned apps in our development pipeline and are always ready to accept help from our amazing community members. This release is designed to simplify development process for those who want to help us build-out the BCA ecosystem.

Feel free to contact us and share your ideas / suggestions in our official Telegram community: https://t.me/bitcoinatom

If you are thrilled about the Bitcoin Atom project as we are, please consider helping the project with development effort and / or contributing to getting BCA listed on more exchanges and wallets.
