Faucet
A faucet is a website or application that distributes small amounts of cryptocurrency for free, typically as a reward for completing simple tasks or captchas. Faucets are commonly used to introduce newcomers to crypto and to distribute testnet tokens for developers.
Example
“The new crypto user visited a Bitcoin faucet and earned 500 satoshis for completing a captcha, giving them their first taste of owning cryptocurrency without spending any money.”
