Your Grin Address

Grin's magic — receive without sharing an address

In BTC/ETH/USDT... or other privacy cryptos, you publish a fixed address — anyone can look it up and see your full transaction history. Grin works differently: the sender creates the transaction first and hands you a slatepack message. You respond from your wallet. No address posted publicly. No balance exposed. No history linked to you. This is Grin's interactive model — unique in all of crypto.

C) Why testnet? Why this matters

Testnet GRIN has no real value — it is a safe sandbox for learning.

This interactive 3-step transaction process (slatepack) is identical to how real Grin withdrawals work on mining pools and exchanges.
Once you complete a drop claim, you understand Grin transactions end-to-end.
The public pruned testnet node (testapi.grin.money) means you do not need to download the full blockchain.

D) Why this site was created

Education — Grin's interactive slatepack model is unlike any other cryptocurrency. Many newcomers don't know where to start. This drop lets anyone experience a complete, mainnet-equivalent Grin payment for free — no sign-up, no KYC, no barriers.
Developer bootstrap — Building on Grin requires testnet coins to create and test payment flows, wallets, and integrations. This drop gives new developers a small fund to start experimenting from day one.
Accessibility — In some countries, buying or selling privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies is restricted or heavily regulated. Testnet GRIN has no monetary value — it exists purely for learning and development, freely available to everyone regardless of jurisdiction.
Donations are genuinely appreciated — they keep the wallet funded and the server running. If this drop helped you, please consider giving back via the Donate section above. Every contribution counts. ツ

* Donation counts and amounts reflect slatepack and invoice transactions only — TOR direct donations are not automatically tracked.
