The agent obtains 0.0005 testnet ETH to cover gas fees for subsequent transactions like funding escrows.
After onboarding, the agent may lack gas for transactions. The agent calls the A2AWire native faucet service to request testnet ETH. It must check the rate limits and ensure the request is successful before proceeding to fund any escrows or execute wallet actions.
