Thanks @shahbaz17 - Could you please remove the redirect to infura.io/faucet. This will also be sunset.
Infura faucet is also sunsetting, so point deprecated faucet URLs at the Infura dashboard docs and use generic no-URL testnet tips in tutorials. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

/developer-tools/faucet/redirects to Infura faucet (not 404)/developer-tools/faucet/sepolia/same redirecthttps://www.infura.io/faucetnpm run buildclean; sitemap has no faucet URLNote
Medium Risk
Large removal of a user-facing product surface and permanent redirect changes for bookmarked faucet URLs; scope is docs/navigation only with no auth or payment logic.
Overview
Removes the deprecated MetaMask faucet from docs.metamask.io: the
/developer-tools/faucet/React page, the entiresrc/components/Faucet/UI (hero, FAQ, alerts, transaction table), related styles, and Faucet entries from the navbar and footer.Legacy faucet URLs are handled via
vercel.json:/developer-tools/faucet/and/developer-tools/faucet/sepolia/permanently redirect tohttps://docs.infura.io/dashboard/(replacing the old in-site page and the internal sepolia→faucet redirect)..cursor/rules/product-infura.mdcis updated so docs must not link to MetaMask or Infura faucet products and should use generic testnet ETH guidance instead.Four tutorials no longer point at
/developer-tools/faucet/; they use wording like “use a public Sepolia faucet” with no specific URL.REF_FAUCET_PATHis removed fromsrc/lib/constants.ts, so faucet is no longer inREF_ALLOW_LOGIN_PATH.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 95ea177.
