# Volta Token (VT)

Volta Tokens are [utility tokens](https://energy-web-foundation.gitbook.io/energy-web-foundation/ew-dos-technology-components-2023/trust-layer-energy-web-chain/energy-web-token#what-is-a-utility-token) specifically for [The Energy Web's Volta Test Network](https://energy-web-foundation.gitbook.io/energy-web-foundation/ew-dos-technology-components-2023/trust-layer-energy-web-chain/ewc-guides-and-tutorials/testnet-and-mainnet#developing-on-volta-test-network). Volta tokens have no real value. You will need Volta Tokens in your digital wallet (we recommend using [MetaMask](https://metamask.io)) if you want to make transactions or use applications that are deployed on the Volta network, such as [Switchboard](https://energy-web-foundation.gitbook.io/energy-web-foundation/community-resources/using-the-energy-web-chain/broken-reference) or the [Staking beta site. ](https://stake.energyweb.org/staking?org=energyweb.iam.ewc)

## Get Tokens

### Access your wallet

If you don't have MetaMask wallet, you can [install the browser extension here.](https://metamask.io/) Once you're in MetaMask, connect to the Volta Test network. For directions on how to do this, go [here. ](https://energy-web-foundation.gitbook.io/energy-web-foundation/ew-dos-technology-components-2023/trust-layer-energy-web-chain/ewc-guides-and-tutorials/connect-to-energy-web-chain-main-network-with-metamash)

There are two ways to get Volta tokens:

### Get Tokens from the Volta Faucet

Go to <https://voltafaucet.energyweb.org/> and enter your wallet address to get a token. Make sure you perform the “I am not a robot” challenge before you request a token, otherwise you will get an error.

### Request Tokens on Discord

Go to the [volta-faucet channel ](https://discord.com/channels/706103009205288990/865526109348036618)on Energy Web’s discord server and paste your wallet address in the chat box.&#x20;

If your wallet is already connected to the Volta network, you will see your token balance in your wallet.
