# How to get $UPTICK

## 1. Through Mainnet Faucet

Gas refers to the amount of computing work required to perform a specific operation on the blockchain network, and each transaction on the chain requires computing resources to execute. Therefore, when you conduct on-chain transactions on the Uptick Chain, you need to pay a certain amount of $UPTICK in order to initiate the transaction.

For newcomers, the faucet is very important. It gives users small amounts of tokens that can be used as gas to complete transactions, ensuring that they do not run out and can complete their transactions without any issues.

Currently, newcomers can obtain $UPTICK tokens via the following two faucets：

### **Uptick Chain Marketplace Faucet**

This is a free faucet for the Uptick Chain Mainnet. Simply complete verification, post a tweet and then receive $UPTICK tokens in a matter of seconds. These tokens are enough to perform several on-chain operations in Uptick Network.

If you are a new user of the [Uptick Chain Marketplace](http://upticknft.com/) and lack $UPTICK, you can now navigate to the faucet at the top right of the page, or again at the bottom of the page (when minting a collection/NFT).

Alternatively, you can directly access the faucet [**here**](https://uptick.upticknft.com/faucet)

### **Stakely Faucet**

The Stakely Crypto Faucet provides a solution to the problem of running out of gas when completing transactions on a blockchain network. This is a reliable and widely used faucet. In the Cosmos Ecosystem, many projects such as Cosmos, IRISnet, OmniFlix, Osmosis, Juno, etc, have used Stakely’s faucet service.
