#### Now that the faucet is live, what can $PARA users do with it?
2. Once you have inserted your $PARA address or an ENS address, you can start mining $PARA. You'll be able to track statistics of your mining sessions, such as remaining session time, number of workers, and hashrate.
3. Paragon users can now utilize Paragon Explorer to view transactions on the network, block details, average block speed, address details, and total blocks.
