Faucet
Devnet, Testnet, and local networks include faucets that mint SUI. You can use the Sui TypeScript SDK to call a network's faucet and provide SUI to the address you provide.
To request SUI from a faucet, import the requestSuiFromFaucetV0
function from the
@mysten/sui.js/faucet
package to your project.
import { getFaucetHost, requestSuiFromFaucetV0 } from '@mysten/sui.js/faucet';
Use requestSuiFromFaucetV0
in your TypeScript code to request SUI from the network's faucet.
await requestSuiFromFaucetV0({
host: getFaucetHost('testnet'),
recipient: <RECIPIENT_ADDRESS>,
});
Faucets on Devnet and Testnet are rate limited. If you run the script too many times, you surpass the limit and must wait to successfully run it again.
