Bitzal Treasury​

Ogona Faucet

Due to high demand and spamming issues, the Ogona faucet is no longer in operation. The Web3 Foundation has considered new ways to distribute OGG for people who need OGG to build.

If you are interested in obtaining OGG for building or research, you can apply through the Treasury or receive a tip for doing something cool in the community.
