Connect to Sui Devnet

The Sui Devnet network lets you experiment with Sui and provide feedback to help to shape the future of the Sui network.

The Sui Devnet network currently consists of:

  • Four validator nodes operated by Mysten Labs. Clients send transactions and read requests via this endpoint: https://fullnode.devnet.sui.io:443 using JSON-RPC.
  • A public network Sui Explorer for browsing transaction history.
  • A Discord channel for requesting test coins that can be used to pay for gas on the test network. These coins have no financial value and will disappear each time we reset the network.

Watch for update announcements in the #devnet-updates Discord channel.

See the terms of service for using the Devnet network.

Tools

We provide the following tools for users to interact with Sui Devnet:

Environment set up

Learn how to install Sui and then request test tokens in the Install Sui. After you install Sui, request Sui test coins through Discord.

To check whether Sui is installed, run the following command:

$ which sui

If the command doesn't return a path to the command you need to install Sui.

Tip: Check the Sui Releases page to see the changes in the latest release.

Configure Sui client

Now set up your Sui Client CLI to connect to Sui Devnet.

To connect the Sui client to Sui Devnet, run the following command:

$ sui client

The Sui CLI prints the following line when the client starts up for the first time:

Config file ["/Users/dir/.sui/sui_config/client.yaml"] doesn't exist, do you want to connect to a Sui RPC server [y/n]?

Type y and then press Enter. You should see the following output:

Sui RPC server Url (Default to Sui Devnet if not specified) :

The Sui client prompts you for the RPC server URL; press 'Enter' and it defaults to Devnet. You can also enter a custom URL to connect to a custom RPC endpoint.

If you previously installed a Sui client with a local network, modify your existing client.yaml to change the RPC endpoint with the following command:

$ sui client switch --rpc https://fullnode.devnet.sui.io:443

Tip: If you run into issues, reset the Sui configuration by removing its directory, by default located at ~/.sui/sui_config. Then reinstall Sui binaries.

Validating

Note that in the following sections, the object ID's, addresses, and authority signatures used are example values only. Sui generates unique values for each of these, so you see different values when you run the commands.

Request gas tokens

  1. Join Discord If you haven’t already.
  2. Find your address by running: 
    $ sui client active-address
  3. Request tokens in the #devnet-faucet channel per the SUI tokens install documentation.

Mint an example NFT

To create a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), run:

$ sui client create-example-nft

You will see output resembling:

Successfully created an ExampleNFT:

ID: ED883F6812AF447B9B0CE220DA5EA9E0F58012FE
Version: 1
Owner: Account Address ( 9E9A9D406961E478AA80F4A6B2B167673F3DF8BA )
Type: 0x2::devnet_nft::DevNetNFT

The preceding command created an object with ID ED883F6812AF447B9B0CE220DA5EA9E0F58012FE. Use the Sui CLI client to view objects owned by the address.

Now you can view the created object in the Sui Explorer by appending the object ID to: https://explorer.devnet.sui.io/objects/

Example NFT

The following example command demonstrates how to customize the name, description, or image of the NFT:

$ sui client create-example-nft --url=https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/76067158/166136286-c60fe70e-b982-4813-932a-0414d0f55cfb.png --description="The greatest chef in the world" --name="Greatest Chef"

The command returns a new object ID:

Successfully created an ExampleNFT:

ID: EC97467A40A1305FFDEF7019C3045FBC7AA31E29
Version: 1
Owner: Account Address ( 9E9A9D406961E478AA80F4A6B2B167673F3DF8BA )
Type: 0x2::devnet_nft::DevNetNFT

You can view details about the object in Sui Explorer: https://explorer.devnet.sui.io/objects/EC97467A40A1305FFDEF7019C3045FBC7AA31E29

Publish a Move module

Publish a sample Move package containing code developed in the Sui Move tutorial as follows (assuming you installed the source code in ~sui as advised in set up):

$ sui client publish --path <your-sui-repo>/sui_programmability/examples/move_tutorial --gas-budget 30000

The response resembles the following:

The newly published package object ID: 0689E58788C875E9C354F359792CEC016DA0A1B0
List of objects created by running module initializers:

Updated Gas : Coin { id: 58C4DAA98694266F4DF47BA436CD99659B6A5342, value: 49552 }

Two important things happened as a result of publishing this package:

  • a package object (with ID 0689E58788C875E9C354F359792CEC016DA0A1B0) has been created
  • a Forge object (with ID 898922A9CABE93C6C38C55BBE047BFB0A8C864BF) has been created as a result of running a module initializer for one (and the only one) module of this package

Specific object IDs displayed above may differ from one Sui installation to the other, so we will use the following placeholders for them (respectively): <PACKAGE_ID> and <FORGE_ID>. Whenever you see these used in the command line, for example when calling Move functions in the next section, replace them with actual object IDs.

Make a Move call

In the previous section, we learned how to publish a Move package; and in this section, we will learn how to call into functions defined in this package. As a result of publishing a package, we obtained the new package object ID (<PACKAGE_ID>) and ID of the Forge object (<FORGE_ID>) that can be used to create swords and transfer them to other players.

Let’s assume that the placeholder for the address of the player to receive a sword is <PLAYER_ADDRESS>. If you don’t know any address other than your own, you can create one using the following client command and use it whenever you see the <PLAYER_ADDRESS> placeholder:

$ sui client new-address ed25519

New address creation requires key scheme flag {ed25519 | secp256k1}.

Which yields output resembling:

Created new keypair for address with flag 0: [0x19de019c19fc800a6aeba4eb4133f6db91ca7c2c]

In order to create a sword and transfer it to another player, we use the following command to call the sword_create function in the my_module module of the package we previously published.

Important: Note placeholders on the command line and formatting of function parameters as it is important to follow the same pattern.

Now run:

$ sui client call --function sword_create --module my_module --package 0x<PACKAGE_ID> --args \"0x<FORGE_ID>\" 42 7 \"0x<PLAYER_ADDRESS>\" --gas-budget 30000

And receive output like:

Go to the Sui Explorer to observe a newly created object (ID 2E34983D59E9FC5310CFBAA953D2188E6A84FD21, in this example). You should see a sword object created with Magic property of 42 and Strength property of 7 and transferred to the new owner.

As above, replace the object ID in the Explorer link with the object ID of the created object you observed in your own command output, appended to: https://explorer.devnet.sui.io/objects/

Magic sword

This concludes the Sui Devnet setup and testing instructions. Revisit this page and re-install the binaries regularly to witness and help Sui grow!
