# Testnet Set Up

In this section, developers will find&#x20;the technical documentation and information on how you can run our Alpha testnet node and connect to the Betelgeuse testnet blockchain. Our testnet is a great environment to test your code before deploying it on the testnet.&#x20;

**Important notice** – once your node is set up and ready to run, please send us your testnet address, and we will send you 50 testnet ETP tokens because you will need them to test our new features.

Contact us on [Discord](https://discord.gg/56ky6fb) should you have any additional questions or concerns.
