Enter Address

*   Make sure the faucet is operational to avoid a 12-hour wait if it fails.
    

**Note**: Claim faucet tokens regularly, as mining fees can be high.

### Step 5: Check Mined Transactions and Keystones 📈

1.  After 24 hours, visit [Hemi Testnet Stats](https://testnet.popstats.hemi.network/).
    
2.  Enter your **Public Key Hash** to view details on the **transactions and keystones mined** by your node.
    

Note: Hemi popstats dashboard will be acessible after 24 hours or so.
