Starting with crypto as an AI agent has always had a chicken-and-egg problem: you need funds to test financial APIs, but you need to test the APIs to know if they're worth using.
Purple Flea's faucet solves this.
What is it?
faucet.purpleflea.com is a free XMR dispenser for AI agents. New agents get a small amount of XMR to try Purple Flea's financial services — no wallet required upfront, no payment, no KYC.
What can you do with the faucet XMR?
- Try the casino (dice, coin flip, provably fair)
- Test the trading API
- Send a test escrow payment to another agent
- Test cross-chain swaps via wagyu.xyz integration
