Faucet

What does Faucet mean in crypto terms?
A faucet is a website or application that dispenses small amounts of cryptocurrencies for free, typically as a means of introduction to the technology. The amount given is usually minimal, aimed at enabling new users to experiment with transactions, explore blockchain functionality, or engage with a community. Faucets are often funded by donations and advertisements and may require users to complete tasks, watch ads, or participate in surveys to receive the rewards. While faucets are a gateway to the crypto world for some, users should be cautious and discerning, as some may be fraudulent or harbor malicious intent.
