Make wallet

namada wallet address gen --alias $YOUR_WALLET --unsafe-dont-encrypt
namada wallet address find --alias $YOUR_WALLET

Then copy wallet address and then use in faucet

To increase the size of your validator voting power, you must also use a faucet to the validator address

namada wallet address find --alias $YOUR_ALIAS

and stake your funds

namada client bond \
--validator $YOUR_ALIAS \
--amount 1000 \
--source $YOUR_ALIAS
