A Bitcoin (BTC) faucet is a website or app that rewards users with tiny amounts of Bitcoin—known as Satoshis—for completing simple tasks like solving captchas, watching ads, or playing games. Designed to introduce new users to cryptocurrency without financial risk, they serve as a "dripping" source of free, small-value BTC.
