ETH on testnets has no real value; therefore, there are no markets for testnet ETH. Since you need ETH to actually interact with Ethereum, most people get testnet ETH from faucets. Most faucets are webapps where you can input an address which you request ETH to be sent to.

Goerli is a proof-of-stake testnet, and is the recommended default testnet for testing of validating and staking.

The two public proof-of-stake testnets (which client developers are maintaining post-merge) are Goerli and Sepolia. The Goerli network was merged with the Prater Beacon Chain testnet. The Sepolia network has been created to transition to proof-of-stake.

**[Sepolia](#sepolia) is the recommended default testnet for application development**.

+
The Sepolia network uses a permissioned validator set. It's fairly new, meaning its state and history are both quite small. This means the network is quick to sync to and that running a node on it requires less storage. This is useful for users who want to quickly spin up a node and interact with the network directly.

To launch a Validator on Goerli testnet, use ethstaker's ["cheap goerli validator" launchpad](https://goerli.launchpad.ethstaker.cc/en/).

**[Goerli](#goerli) is the recommended default testnet for testing of validating and staking**.

The Goerli network is open for users wanting to run a testnet validator. Stakers wanting to test protocol upgrades before they are deployed to mainnet should therefore use Goerli.
