# Teller Testnet

Developers are able to leverage the Teller protocol to build their own innovative DeFi products. The protocol is designed in a way that is feature-rich enough to power large-scale applications, yet simple enough for a weekend hack. 

The easiest way to test out the Teller platform and play around with it is to first obtain test USDC, ETH, or DAI tokens through either a ‘faucet’ website or the Compound app. This can be done on Rinkeby, allowing users to access our testnet.<br>

## ETH Faucet

Go to your preferred social media platform (e.g. Twitter), and create a public tweet or post with your Ethereum wallet address.

Open a new tab and go to <https://faucet.rinkeby.io/>, enter the link to your post and select the number of test Ethers you would like.

Prove that you are not a robot:

Once the transaction has been broadcasted and confirmed on the network, the test Ethers will appear in your wallet. Now we're ready to Compound that wealth!

## USDC through Compound

To get some USDC on Rinkeby, we highly recommend you go to our friends over at Compound. Visit <https://app.compound.finance/> and make sure to have your Metamask wallet selected to the Rinkeby network. We'll need that test ETH!

![](https://3610159351-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MO88GkeG8L2B-O09Wd8%2F-MOsPi_DqKAGTEbPSr8d%2F-MOsQM809zt6HFrquhvj%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=9ba2cd1b-e352-4bfd-89a8-07ce8e6b0df3)

Select the USDC coin, click on the withdraw tab, and then the Faucet link at the bottom.
