How to get Cosmos (ATOM) for Free: Step by Step

In this article, we are going to cover a method to get free Cosmos and that will help you to pay for gas fees when making a transaction.

In order to do this, we are going to use what is known as a faucet. What this gives us access to is usually in exchange for nothing or some small action that you can perform in a few seconds, get cryptocurrencies directly into our wallet. As you can think, it is quite a small amount that we are going to get, although it is totally free.

The faucet appeared because of a very common problem, having cryptocurrencies in a network and not having the native token to pay for the gas fee or commission when you want to make a transaction. Its use is to receive a sufficient amount to make one or two transactions in that network. It is intended to be able to help each user who needs it to make transactions if they are in the situation without the native token of the network to do so, and not just to be giving away cryptocurrencies. Therefore, you will not be able to make much use of it, apart from the amount you will receive is very small and you will only waste your time trying to claim more than once.

Make use of this alternative if you find yourself with funds in a network and you don’t have the ability to move them because you ran out of the network token, and you need it to pay for the gas fee. It is a tool that can get you out of a lot of trouble, due to the minimums required by centralized exchanges to withdraw it to your wallet.

Faucet on Cosmos (ATOM)

If we want to get Cosmos (ATOM) totally free, we will go to stakely.io/faucet, the place where we will find the faucet of this cryptocurrency. Here, we are going to be able to see all the different cryptocurrencies that it has available for it, and you will also see some that are not available at the moment. This usually happens when the account runs out of new funds to continue distributing.

Let’s select ATOM by clicking on request. Next, you will see a good description of what a faucet is and we will indicate the address where you want to receive the ATOM. Then complete the recaptcha to verify that you are human, and click on verify. Next, we will publish a tweet, and you will be able to check the box to make your twitter name anonymous and not be seen or shared. Check the box if you want to, and click on tweet. Check the new box again, to indicate that you are using the faucet because you need gas fee, and click on tweet.

The last step is to post the tweet and within a few seconds the transaction will be done so you can receive the tokens. You will also be able to see on the right side the different previous transactions, and see the amount you are receiving. It is as easy as clicking on transaction ID and it will take you to the explorer, where you will see the amount you are getting for each transaction. This way, you can calculate what you are getting and see if you are going to get it for the cost of the gas fee transaction you want to make.

Remember that what you will receive is very little, and it is really only worth it when you need it for a transaction so you can swap your tokens to have more ATOM and be able to make more transactions, or if you want to withdraw them to another wallet or Exchange. Use it responsibly, as it is a way to help users in each network for a small action or in exchange for nothing and support the use of the network.

In this simple way, you will already have ATOM to be able to pay for any transaction and move your funds or exchange them for ATOM to make more transactions. I hope you find it useful if you find yourself in this situation and did not know about this solution. Remember that if you don’t have an account with binance, you can create one just below.
