How do I get some test USDC for use on Solana devnet?

I am familiar with 'airdrop' to get test Sol in devnet wallets:

  var airdropSignature = await connection.requestAirdrop(publicKey, lamports);

  const latestBlockHash = await connection.getLatestBlockhash();

  await connection.confirmTransaction({
    blockhash: latestBlockHash.blockhash,
    lastValidBlockHeight: latestBlockHash.lastValidBlockHeight,
    signature: airdropSignature,
  });

But how do I get test SPL tokens like USDC in Devnet? The circle USDC docs simply state:

The USDC Solana SPL token has been deployed to the Devnet and is available on address 4zMMC9srt5Ri5X14GAgXhaHii3GnPAEERYPJgZJDncDU.

That's not a lot of information. I can happily generate wallets, and send SPL tokens between wallets once I have some SPL tokens - but how do I get some test USDC for use on Solana devnet?

Solution

  • Use https://faucet.circle.com/.
