Is the Stellar Friendbot down right now?
Status: Working — HTTP 400
Uptime: 100% across the last 9 daily checks.
How to use it: This is an API, not a web page — opening the bare URL shows a 'Bad Request' JSON response, which is normal. To fund an account, append ?addr=<your-address> to the URL. Alternatives: Freighter wallet built-in faucet, Stellar Lab account funder, Demo Wallet (10,000 XLM).

Why XLM 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 XLM 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.
