# c. Get Testnet zUSD

Besides Testnet ETH, you will also need Testnet zUSD in order to be able to place and close positions on Horizon Futures Testnet.

To make this an easy process, we have created our own faucet on the testnet page. There is a daily limit of 100 zUSD to ensure fair distribution to all testers.

* Go to <https://testnet.horizonprotocol.com/>
* Connect your wallet (should you be connected to the wrong network, the page will ask you to switch).
* In the top right corner you will see a button labeled “FAUCET”. Click on that.
* A pop up will appear showing the ETH faucet, HZN faucet and zUSD faucet. Click on “Claim zUSD”.
* Confirm transaction. Make sure that you have testnet ETH for gas fees, otherwise you will be met with a prompt telling you that “you do not have enough ETH”.

***

You are now ready to try out Horizon Futures Testnet!  Go to your Account Manager and deposit zUSD to be used as margin in your trades.&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://academy.horizonprotocol.com/english-v2/futures/guides/futures-testnet-guide/1.-getting-started/c.-get-testnet-zusd.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
