Get SUI Tokens

Sui faucet is a helpful tool where Sui developers can get free test SUI tokens to deploy and interact with their programs on Sui's Devnet and Testnet networks. There is no faucet for Sui Mainnet.

Prerequisites​

To request tokens from the faucet, you must own a wallet address that can receive the SUI tokens. See the Get Sui Address topic if you don't already have an address or need to create a new one.

Request test tokens through Discord​

  1. Join Discord. If you try to join the Sui Discord channel using a newly created Discord account, you may need to wait a few days for validation.
  2. Request test SUI tokens in the Sui #devnet-faucet or #testnet-faucet Discord channels. Send the following message to the channel with your client address: !faucet <Your client address>

Request test tokens through wallet​

You can request test tokens within Sui Wallet.

Request test tokens through cURL​

Use the following cURL command to request tokens directly from the faucet server:

curl --location --request POST 'https://faucet.devnet.sui.io/gas' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "FixedAmountRequest": {
        "recipient": "<YOUR SUI ADDRESS>"
    }
}'

If you're working with a local network, replace 'https://faucet.devnet.sui.io/gas' with the appropriate value based on which package runs your network:

  • sui-faucet: http://127.0.0.1:5003/gas
  • sui-test-validator: http://127.0.0.1:9123/gas

Request test tokens through TypeScript SDK​

You can also access the faucet using the Sui TypeScript-SDK.

import { requestSuiFromFaucetV0, getFaucetHost } from '@mysten/sui.js/faucet';

// get tokens from the Devnet faucet server
await requestSuiFromFaucetV0({
  // connect to Devnet
    host: getFaucetHost('devnet'),
    recipient: '<YOUR SUI ADDRESS>',
});

Test tokens on a local network​

If you are running a local Sui network, you can get tokens from your local faucet. See the Connect to a Local Network topic for details.
