# tempo\_fundAddress - Tempo

Example code for the tempo\_fundAddress JSON-RPC method. Complete guide on how to use tempo\_fundAddress JSON-RPC in GetBlock Web3 documentation.

Mints test stablecoins to the given address. On the public Moderato testnet, this currently mints pathUSD, AlphaUSD, BetaUSD, and ThetaUSD. Available only on faucet-enabled testnet endpoints.

## Parameters

{% hint style="info" %}
**TESTNET-FAUCET-ONLY METHOD.** This method is only available on faucet-enabled testnet endpoints (such as the public Moderato testnet at `https://rpc.moderato.tempo.xyz`). It is **not** available on Tempo mainnet. Calling this method against a mainnet endpoint returns an error.
{% endhint %}

| Parameter | Type   | Required | Description                       |
| --------- | ------ | -------- | --------------------------------- |
