The beta-1 testnet
The beta-1 network is the first public Fuel testnet, shared by all developers and users that interact with it. Developers may deploy contracts to it at will—no permission or whitelisting required—and users may interact with deployed contracts as well.
🚰 Faucet - Use the faucet to get test ETH to deploy contracts with or to interact with contracts. Available here: https://faucet-beta-1.fuel.network.
📃 GraphQL endpoint - The Fuel Core node uses GraphQL instead of JSON RPC. A playground for the public GraphQL endpoint for beta-1 is available at https://node-beta-1.fuel.network/playground.
🔍 Block explorer - A block explorer (still heavily in development) is available at https://fuellabs.github.io/block-explorer-v2.
