Description:
When users create a testnet wallet using the Meteor Wallet or myNearWallet, their accounts are initialized with a zero balance. This creates a significant barrier for new users, preventing them from following tutorials or testing functionality that requires tokens.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Go to the NEAR testnet wallet (myNearWallet, Meteor Wallet).
  2. Create a new testnet account.
  3. Check the account balance immediately after creation.

Expected Behavior:
The newly created testnet wallet account should have a small initial balance to enable immediate testing without requiring a manual transfer or funding process.

Actual Behavior:
The account is created with a zero balance

Doesn't seem to be the case for MNW as seen on

NearFaucet might be able to take over the funding of accounts creations and provide an endpoint for these wallet providers to disperse tokens to testnet accounts
