## Cardano blockchain nets:
### Testnet
There are two types of testnet: `preview` and `pre-prod`.

- **Preview Testnet**: Testing release candidates and mainnet releases. Leads mainnet hard forks by at least 4 weeks. This net is for those who just want to see how it runs, get familiarised and play with cardano-node.

- **Pre-Production Testnet**: Testing release candidates and mainnet releases. Forks at approximately same time as mainnet (within an epoch of each other). This net is ideal for those who are ready to run the mainnet but want to test it before running it.

### Production (Mainnet)
This is the live Production. Only gets official mainnet releases. Please use this net once you are ready to use the cardano-node.

### Configuration Files

The `cardano-node` application requires at least four configuration files to run as of writing this article.

The testnet faucet is a service that provides test ada (tAda) to users of the Cardano testnet. These tokens have no value, but they enable users to experiment with Cardano testnet features without spending real ada on the mainnet. You can use test ada to [mint native tokens](../native-tokens/minting), to [play around with Cardano wallets](creating-wallet-faucet) or to [learn how to operate a stake pool](../operate-a-stake-pool/).

## How to get test ada
1. Default funds are in `tAda`. If you'd like to test the native token functionality, select `Testcoin` from the dropdown menu.
1. Enter the address of the account where you want to top up funds.
1. If you have been issued with an API key, please enter this to access any additional funds you may have been allocated.
1. Confirm the `I'm not a robot` box and solve the captcha if needed.
1. Click on `Request` and the funds will be in the testnet account you specified within a few minutes. Use the [Cardano testnet explorer](https://explorer.cardano-testnet.iohkdev.io/) in case you want to check any transactions on the Cardano testnet.

## Testnets faucet

This portal allows you to send test ada to your wallet. You can access it [here](https://docs.cardano.org/cardano-testnet/tools/faucet).

## How to get test ada
1. Define your environment. You can get tada for either the `preview` or `prepod testnet`.
2. Define your action. Select `Receive test ADA` in this case. You can also ask for `pool delegation` if you are managing a pool (learn [more](https://developers.cardano.org/docs/operate-a-stake-pool/)).
3. Enter the address of the account where you want to top up funds.
