How to use the Faucet?
Overview
Claiming
You do not have an official ZEN wallet
If you do not have a ZEN wallet, please visit our official wallet page and choose the wallet that suits your needs. We recommend using our flagship wallet, Sphere by Horizen. It is important to consider that, we do not recommend using Exchange addresses at all, since Exchanges have their own rules and limits on minimum transactions deposits. Issues may arise using addresses from exchanges.
- After downloading, you can follow this easy guide to install and create your account (Sphere only). Download and account creation. From this process, it is paramount that you SAVE your backup phrase in a secure place when creating your account.
- In the account overview located in the left, you’ll see the created wallet. Click on it
- You will see a list of addresses displayed on the left side of your screen, copy the one in which you wish to receive the ZEN.
- Paste the address inside the “Your ZEN address” field in the Faucet.
- Complete the captcha by following the instructions.
- Click on the “Claim” button.
- Claiming can pay Zatoshis every 20 hours. If you claimed the previous day, the star multiplier will increase your reward according to your star level. Zatoshis given out will be within a random range, adjusted based on the daily USD price. We need to make sure the faucet has sustainable economics.

Star Counter
On the upper part of the screen you will have a star counter that would start filling as soon as you start claiming. Each consecutive daily claim will accumulate a star (between 20-30 hours apart from your last claim). Once the star count reaches 5 stars, you can claim the Bonus Round. In the following explanation, we will explain how the star counter works in detail.
Star Counter rules:
- For each consecutive day of claiming ZEN in our Faucet, you accumulate a star and your claimed reward is multiplied by a defined value depending on your star level:
- Day 2: 1.2 x Reward
- Day 3: 1.4 x Reward
- Day 4: 1.6 x Reward
- Day 5: 1.8 x Reward + Bonus Round
- Day 6: 2 x Reward
- Bonus round will remain active after the fifth consecutive day, it is important to consider that Bonus Rounds are not accruable, this means that in order to claim it successfully you will need to play it before accumulating again the five stars.
- After the claiming of Day 6, the star counter will reset to zero. Missing a consecutive day would also reset the star counter to zero.
Bonus Round
A bonus round could be only activated by two events:
- A referral being activated.
- Claiming consecutively for five days.
Let’s discuss each case:
When a referral is activated
Activated means that a referral in your dashboard is already registered with your invitation and have already claimed ZEN in the Faucet for the first time. Once these two events become true, the referral status will change to “Claim now” after 24 hours. When the button is clicked, the Bonus Round screen pops up to play the game. It is important to notice that there is no time limit to claim a bonus round in the referral page.
Claiming consecutively for five days
A consecutive claim will accumulate a star in your star level, once you have the 5 stars on the star counter, you will be able to play the bonus round when desired. Bonus Rounds are not accruable, this means that in order to claim it successfully you will need to play it before accumulating again the five stars.
A bonus round can reward you up to 1 ZEN, possible values to win are 0.0025, 0.1 and 1 ZEN, there is greater probability to win the minimum reward than winning the 1 ZEN reward
Extra Rewards
The bonus tab is used to link your social media accounts into the Faucet. Currently, you can link your Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin accounts. In the future, we plan to add more options. The amount of accounts linked will determine the multiplier you will end up having every time you claim on the Faucet. This means that the more you authenticate, the higher the multiplier and higher your rewards will be!
This new feature is intended to help ensure real users get more, and dissuade malicious actors from using the Faucet. You can view the benefits of linking your social media by clicking on the Extra Rewards tab.
Referral Tab
The referral tab is used to manage your referral system, you have two options to invite someone to the Faucet:
- Invite them via a link, this can be copied and pasted to your friends.
- Invite them via email, emails have to be introduced in the invite friends screen that is prompted by clicking on the “Invite friends” button.
Your referrals dashboard
In here you can visualize the amount of people that have registered so far, there are three statuses for a referral.
- Waiting for Activation: this means that the referral has already registered but has not claimed ZEN for the first time yet.
- Claim now: Once the user registers with your invitation claims ZEN for the first time and 24 hours after the claim has passed, the status changes to “Claim now”, after this you can redeem your bonus round by clicking on the “Claim now” button.
- Claimed: When the bonus round is already claimed, the referral status turns into a Claimed status.
