Sui Faucet: How to get SUI Testnet Tokens?

In order to get SUI testnet tokens, you need to create a Sui wallet account and send your testnet wallet address to the official Sui Discord channel. You will receive one free SUI token within 10 minutes of sending the message on Discord.

In this guide, we will show the complete process of claiming free SUI tokens, including creating a new Sui wallet and joining Sui’s official Discord channel. 

How to get Sui testnet tokens? A step-by-step guide

The process of claiming Sui testnet tokens is very straightforward and requires 5 to 10 minutes. Keep in mind that testnet tokens are designed to test blockchain operations before they are deployed to the mainnet, and they hold no monetary value, as opposed to mainnet SUI cryptocurrency.

Step 1: Set up Sui Wallet

If you don’t have Sui Wallet, go to the Google Chrome Web store and download Sui Wallet. Set up your wallet, which includes entering a password and making sure to save your 12-word passphrase. After Sui Wallet is set up, you can open it from the list of extensions in Google Chrome. The address is located at the top of the wallet window (see red arrow in the image below).

Step 2: Join Sui Discord

Next, you’ll need to join the official Sui Discord channel. Upon joining, you’ll need to verify your account via the link that is provided after opening the Sui Discord channel for the first time.

Step 3: Search for the #testnet-faucet channel

After verifying your account, search for the “testnet-faucet” channel. Keep in mind that the faucet might be overloaded depending on requests or undergoing maintenance. Come back at a later time if that’s the case. 

Step 4: Provide your Sui wallet address, and the faucet bot will send you SUI within 10 minutes

To request test coins, please write a message in the form, “!faucet <your_sui_address>”, and the faucet bot will send SUI to your address within 10 minutes. You can find your wallet address in the Sui Wallet app (check “Step 1”).

What is the difference between Sui DevNet and testnet?

The main difference between Sui DevNet, Sui Testnet, and Sui Mainnet is the purpose of each network and the level of security and stability they offer.

• Sui DevNet is a development network that is operated by Mysten Labs. It is used by developers to build and test their applications before deploying them to the mainnet. Sui DevNet is not as secure or stable as the other networks, but it is the best place to start for developers who are new to Sui.
• Sui Testnet is a public test network that is operated by a community of validators. It is used by developers and users to test the Sui network before it is launched on the mainnet. Sui Testnet is more secure and stable than DevNet, but it is still not recommended for use with real assets.
• Sui Mainnet is the main Sui network where all real transactions are processed. It is the most secure and stable of the three networks, but it is also the most important. Developers should only deploy their applications to the mainnet once they have been thoroughly tested on DevNet and Testnet.

The bottom line: SUI tokens issued through the faucet allow users and devs to test blockchain operations without risking real money

Testnet SUI tokens allow users and developers to test blockchain applications and operations, like paying gas fees, without risking real money. Testnet tokens hold no monetary value and thus cannot be exchanged for fiat or other cryptocurrencies.

It is worth noting that several other cryptocurrencies also use testnet faucets. Check the following guides for more information:
