Join the Ritual Discord, read the rules, and spend a few days helping in builder channels. Then ask a moderator plainly for a testnet faucet invite and say what you plan to deploy.
Hi, I'm planning to deploy a small sentiment oracle contract on Ritual testnet and publish the source. Could I get a faucet invite? Happy to share the repo once it's live.
Use a fresh wallet you control, fund it from the faucet, and follow the guide's deploy steps. Save the contract address and transaction hash.
Use the explorer's verify feature with the compiler settings from the guide. A verified contract shows your code publicly and proves the deploy is yours.
Create a page (GitHub README or a profile site) listing the contract address, what it does and the date. Link it from your social bio.
I just deployed and verified my first contract on Ritual: an onchain sentiment oracle that asks an AI model a question and stores the answer for other contracts. Source and address here: [link]. Notes on what broke along the way in the replies.
A deploy that is used looks very different from one that is abandoned. Set a weekly reminder to make a call and note the result. This is about being a real builder; no airdrop is guaranteed.
Leave an email and we nudge you at 24 and 72 hours with your next move. Optional.
