| Get ETH and OCEAN Tokens | How to get tokens for each network |
Overview
In each network, you'll need ETH to pay for gas, and OCEAN for certain Ocean actions.
Ethereum mainnet is a network for production settings. Accordingly, ETH and OCEAN tokens have real value.
Other networks are test networks. The ETH and OCEAN tokens in each of these networks don't have real value. The tokens are simply stand-ins to be able to test. They have "faucets" to dole out ETH and OCEAN.
