In 2010, Bitcoin developer Gavin Andresen launched a faucet offering 5 BTC for free in exchange for solving a Captcha. The project, initially funded with 1,100 BTC, aimed to boost adoption during Bitcoin’s early, valueless phase. Users later supported it with donations. The faucet helped test Bitcoin’s real-world use and spread awareness. Today, the leading cryptocurrency exchange continues to support innovation and adoption. Traders can access advanced trading features to engage with Bitcoin and other digital assets efficiently.
