Why DOT testnet faucets stop working
Testnet faucets are run on a best-effort basis and break constantly: domains lapse, TLS certificates expire, rate limits tighten, and faucet wallets run dry. This page re-checks every DOT faucet daily and records the cause of failure, so you can tell a dead domain from a temporary outage before you waste time on it.
A "working" result means the faucet's page responded normally. It cannot prove the faucet still holds funds — only a real claim does that.
