[BUG] Testnet Wallet Accounts Created with Zero Balance  #2423

Open
@Amira1502

Description

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
