Sui Client CLI

Learn how to set up, configure, and use the Sui Client Command Line Interface (CLI). You can use the CLI to experiment with Sui features using a command line interface.

Set up

The Sui Client CLI installs when you install Sui. See the Install Sui topic for prerequisites and installation instructions.

Using the Sui client

The Sui Client CLI supports the following commands:

Command Description
active-address Default address used for commands when none specified.
active-env Default environment used for commands when none specified.
addresses Obtain the Addresses managed by the client.
call Call Move function.
dynamic-field Query a dynamic field by address.
envs List all Sui environments.
execute-signed-tx Execute a Signed Transaction. This is useful when the user prefers to sign elsewhere and use this command to execute.
gas Obtain all gas objects owned by the address.
help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s).
merge-coin Merge two coin objects into one coin.
new-address Generate new address and keypair with keypair scheme flag {ed25519 or secp256k1 or secp256r1} with optional derivation path, default to m/44'/784'/0'/0'/0' for ed25519 or m/54'/784'/0'/0/0 for secp256k1 or m/74'/784'/0'/0/0 for secp256r1
new-env Add new Sui environment.
object Get object information.
objects Obtain all objects owned by the address.
pay Pay SUI to recipients following specified amounts, with input coins. Length of recipients must be the same as that of amounts.
pay_all_sui Pay all residual SUI coins to the recipient with input coins, after deducting the gas cost. The input coins also include the coin for gas payment, so no extra gas coin is required.
pay_sui Pay SUI coins to recipients following specified amounts, with input coins. Length of recipients must be the same as that of amounts. The input coins also include the coin for gas payment, so no extra gas coin is required.
publish Publish Move modules.
split-coin Split a coin object into multiple coins.
switch Switch active address and network.
transfer Transfer object.
transfer-sui Transfer SUI, and pay gas with the same SUI coin object. If amount is specified, transfers only the amount. If not specified, transfers the object.
upgrade Upgrade a Move module.
verify-source Verify local Move packages against on-chain packages, and optionally their dependencies.

Note: The clear, echo, env, and exit commands exist only in the interactive shell.

Use sui client -h to see a list of supported commands.

Use sui help <command> to see more information on each command.

You can start the client in two modes: interactive shell or command line interface Configure Sui client.

Interactive shell

To start the interactive shell:

sui console

The console command looks for the client configuration file client.yaml in the ~/.sui/sui_config directory. If you have this file stored in a different directory, provide the updated path to the command to override this setting.

sui console --client.config /workspace/config-files

The Sui interactive client console supports the following shell functionality:

  • Command history - use the history command to print the command history. You can also use Up, Down or Ctrl-P, Ctrl-N to display the previous or next in the history list. Use Ctrl-R to search the command history.
  • Tab completion - supported for all commands using Tab and Ctrl-I keys.
  • Environment variable substitution - the console substitutes input prefixed with $ with environment variables. Use the env command to print out the entire list of variables and use echo to preview the substitution without invoking any commands.

Command line mode

You can use the client without the interactive shell. This is useful if you want to pipe the output of the client to another application or invoke client commands using scripts.

USAGE:
    sui client [SUBCOMMAND]

For example, the following command returns the list of account addresses available on the platform:

sui client addresses

The response resembles the following:

0x008e9c621f4fdb210b873aab59a1e5bf32ddb1d33ee85eb069b348c234465106
0x011a285261b9f8d10a0c7ecb4c0dbe6d396825768dba38c3056809472736e521
0x4ab708d1a4160fa0fdbf359691764e16380444ddb48d2b8856a169594a9baa55
0xa3c00467938b392a12355397bdd3d319cea5c9b8f4fc9c51b46b8e15a807f030
0xa56612ad4f5dbc04c651e8d20f56af3316ee6793335707f29857bacabf9127d0 <=

The <= indicates the active address.

Active address

You can specify an active address or default address to use to execute commands.

Sui sets a default address to use for commands. It uses the active address for commands that require an address. To view the current active address, use the active-address command.

sui client active-address

The response to the request resembles the following:

0xa56612ad4f5dbc04c651e8d20f56af3316ee6793335707f29857bacabf9127d0

To change the default address, use the switch command:

sui client switch --address 0xa3c00467938b392a12355397bdd3d319cea5c9b8f4fc9c51b46b8e15a807f030

The response resembles the following:

Active address switched to 0xa3c00467938b392a12355397bdd3d319cea5c9b8f4fc9c51b46b8e15a807f030

All commands use the active address if you don't specify an address.

Paying For transactions with gas objects

All Sui transactions require a gas object for gas fees. If you don't specify a gas object, Sui uses a gas object with sufficient SUI to cover the gas fee.

You can't use the same gas object as part of a transaction and to pay for the same transaction. To see how much gas is in an account, use the gas command.

sui client gas

Specify an address to check an address other than the active address.

sui client gas 0x4e049913233eb918c11638af89d575beb99003d30a245ac74a02e26e45cb80ee

Create new account addresses

Sui Client CLI includes 1 address by default. You can create new addresses for the client with the new-address command, or add existing accounts to the client.yaml.

Create a new account address

sui client new-address secp256k1

You must specify the key scheme, one of ed25519 or secp256k1 or secp256r1.

The command returns a new address and the 24-word recovery phrase for it.

Created new keypair for address with scheme Secp256k1: [0x338567a5fe29132d68fade5172870d8ac1b607fd00eaace1e0aa42896d7f97d4]
Secret Recovery Phrase : [guilty coast nephew hurt announce speak kiwi travel churn airport universe escape thrive switch lean lab giraffe gospel punch school dance cloud type gift]

Add existing accounts to client.yaml

To add existing account addresses to your client, such as from a previous installation, edit the client.yaml file and add the accounts section. You must also add the key pair to the keystore file.

Restart the Sui console after you save the changes to the client.yaml file.

View objects an address owns

Use the objects command to view the objects an address owns.

    }
  }
}

Transfer objects

You can transfer mutable objects you own to another address using the command below

sui client transfer [OPTIONS] --to <TO> --object-id <OBJECT_ID> --gas-budget <GAS_BUDGET>

OPTIONS:
        --object-id <OBJECT_ID>
            Object to transfer, in 32 bytes Hex string

        --gas <GAS>
            ID of the gas object for gas payment, in 32 bytes Hex string If not provided, a gas object with at least gas_budget value will be selected

        --gas-budget <GAS_BUDGET>
            Gas budget for this transfer

    -h, --help
            Print help information

        --json
            Return command outputs in json format

        --to <TO>
            Recipient address

To transfer an object to a recipient, you need the recipient's address, the object ID of the object to transfer, and, optionally, the ID of the coin object for the transaction fee payment. If not specified, the client uses a coin that meets the budget. Gas budget sets a cap for how much gas to spend.

sui client transfer --to 0xcd2630011f6cb9aef960ed42d95b04e063c44a6143083ef89a35ea02b85c61b7 --object-id 0x33e3e1d64f76b71a80ec4f332f4d1a6742c537f2bb32473b01b1dcb1caac9427 --gas-budget 1000

Merge and split coin objects

You can merge coins to reduce the number of separate coin objects in an account, or split coins to create smaller coin objects to use for transfers or gas payments.

You can use the merge-coin command and split-coin command to consolidate or split coins, respectively.

Merge coins

sui client merge-coin [OPTIONS] --primary-coin <PRIMARY_COIN> --coin-to-merge <COIN_TO_MERGE> --gas-budget <GAS_BUDGET>

OPTIONS:
        --coin-to-merge <COIN_TO_MERGE>
            Coin to be merged, in 32 bytes Hex string

        --gas <GAS>
            ID of the gas object for gas payment, in 32 bytes Hex string If not provided, a gas
            object with at least gas_budget value will be selected

        --gas-budget <GAS_BUDGET>
            Gas budget for this call

    -h, --help
            Print help information

        --json
            Return command outputs in json format

        --primary-coin <PRIMARY_COIN>
            Coin to merge into, in 32 bytes Hex string

You need at least three coin objects to merge coins, two coins to merge and one to pay for gas payment. When you merge a coin, you specify maximum gas budget allowed for the merge transaction.

Use the following command to view the objects that the specified address owns.

sui client objects 0x8f603d8a00ae87c43dc090e52bffc29a4b312c28ff3afd81c498caffa2a6b768

Use the IDs returned from the previous command in the merge-coin command.

sui client merge-coin --primary-coin 0x33e3e1d64f76b71a80ec4f332f4d1a6742c537f2bb32473b01b1dcb1caac9427 --coin-to-merge 0x11af4b844ff94b3fbef6e36b518da3ad4c5856fa686464524a876b463d129760 --gas-budget 1000

Split coins

sui client split-coin [OPTIONS] --coin-id <COIN_ID> --gas-budget <GAS_BUDGET> (--amounts <AMOUNTS>... | --count <COUNT>)

OPTIONS:
        --amounts <AMOUNTS>...       Specific amounts to split out from the coin
        --coin-id <COIN_ID>          Coin to Split, in 32 bytes Hex string
        --count <COUNT>              Count of equal-size coins to split into
        --gas <GAS>                  ID of the gas object for gas payment, in 32 bytes Hex string If
                                     not provided, a gas object with at least gas_budget value will
                                     be selected
        --gas-budget <GAS_BUDGET>    Gas budget for this call
    -h, --help                       Print help information
        --json                       Return command outputs in json format

To split a coin you need at least 2 coin objects, one to split and one to pay for gas fees.

Use the following command to view the objects the address owns.

sui client objects 0xcd2630011f6cb9aef960ed42d95b04e063c44a6143083ef89a35ea02b85c61b7

Then use the IDs returned in the split-coin command.

The following example splits one coin into three coins of different amounts, 1000, 5000, and 3000. The --amounts argument accepts a list of values.

sui client split-coin --coin-id 0x11af4b844ff94b3fbef6e36b518da3ad4c5856fa686464524a876b463d129760 --amounts 1000 5000 3000 --gas-budget 1000

Use the objects command to view the new coin objects.

sui client objects 0x08da15bee6a3f5b01edbbd402654a75421d81397

The following example splits a coin into three equal parts. To split a coin evenly, run the command without the --amount argument.

sui client split-coin --coin-id 0x11af4b844ff94b3fbef6e36b518da3ad4c5856fa686464524a876b463d129760 --count 3 --gas-budget 1000

Calling Move code

The genesis state of the Sui platform includes Move code that is immediately ready to be called from Sui CLI.

public entry fun transfer(c: coin::Coin<SUI>, recipient: address) {
    transfer::transfer(c, Address::new(recipient))
}

Please note that there is no real need to use a Move call to transfer coins as this can be accomplished with a built-in Sui client command.

sui client call --function transfer --module sui --package 0x2 --args 0x1b9c00a93345ce5f12bea9ffe04748d6696c30631735193aea95b8f9082c1062 0x33e3e1d64f76b71a80ec4f332f4d1a6742c537f2bb32473b01b1dcb1caac9427 --gas-budget 1000

You can also use environment variables:

export OBJECT_ID=0x1b9c00a93345ce5f12bea9ffe04748d6696c30631735193aea95b8f9082c1062
export RECIPIENT=0x33e3e1d64f76b71a80ec4f332f4d1a6742c537f2bb32473b01b1dcb1caac9427
echo $OBJECT_ID
echo $RECIPIENT
sui client call --function transfer --module sui --package 0x2 --args $OBJECT_ID $RECIPIENT --gas-budget 1000

The command parameters include:

  • --function - name of the function to be called
  • --module - name of the module containing the function
  • --package - ID of the package object where the module containing the function is located. (Remember that the ID of the genesis Sui package containing the GAS module is defined in its manifest file, and is equal to 0x2.)
  • --args - a list of function arguments formatted as SuiJSON values (hence the preceding 0x in address and object ID):
    • ID of the gas object representing the c parameter of the transfer function
    • address of the new gas object owner
  • --gas - an optional object containing gas used to pay for this function call
  • --gas-budget - a decimal value expressing how much gas you are willing to pay for the transfer call to be completed to avoid accidental drain of all gas in the gas pay)

Note the third argument to the transfer function representing TxContext does not have to be specified explicitly - it is a required argument for all functions callable from Sui and is auto-injected by the platform at the point of a function call.

Important: If you use a shell that interprets square brackets ([ ]) as special characters (such as the zsh shell), you must enclose the brackets in single quotes. For example, instead of [7,42] you must use '[7,42]'.

To include multiple object IDs, enclose the IDs in double quotes. For example, '["0x33e3e1d64f76b71a80ec4f332f4d1a6742c537f2bb32473b01b1dcb1caac9427","0x11af4b844ff94b3fbef6e36b518da3ad4c5856fa686464524a876b463d129760"]'

Publish packages

You must publish packages to the Sui distributed ledger for the code you developed to be available in Sui. To publish packages with the Sui client, use the publish command.

Refer to the Move developer documentation for a description on how to write a simple Move code package, which you can then publish using the Sui client publish command.

Important: You must remove all calls to functions in the debug module from no-test code before you can publish the new module (test code is marked with the #[test] annotation).

sui client objects 0x4e049913233eb918c11638af89d575beb99003d30a245ac74a02e26e45cb80ee

The whole command to publish a package for address 0x338567a5fe29132d68fade5172870d8ac1b607fd00eaace1e0aa42896d7f97d4 resembles the following (assuming that the location of the package sources is in the PATH_TO_PACKAGE environment variable):

sui client publish $PATH_TO_PACKAGE/my_move_package --gas 0x33e3e1d64f76b71a80ec4f332f4d1a6742c537f2bb32473b01b1dcb1caac9427 --gas-budget 30000

The publish command accepts the path to your package as an optional positional parameter ($PATH_TO_PACKAGE/my_move_package in the previous call). If you do not supply the path, the command uses the current working directory as the default path value. The call also provides the following data:

  • --gas - The Coin object used to pay for gas.
  • --gas-budget - Gas budget for running module initializers.

When you publish a package, the CLI verifies that the bytecode for dependencies found at their respective published addresses matches the bytecode you get when compiling that dependency from source code. If the bytecode for a dependency does not match, your package does not publish and you receive an error message indicating which package and module the mismatch was found in:

Local dependency did not match its on-chain version at <address>::<package>::<module>

The publish might fail for other reasons, as well, based on dependency verification:

  • There are modules missing, either in the local version of the dependency or on-chain.
  • There's nothing at the address that the dependency points to (it was deleted or never existed).
  • The address supplied for the dependency points to an object instead of a package.
  • The CLI fails to connect to the node to fetch the package.

If your package fails to publish because of an error in dependency verification, you must find and include the correct and verifiable source package for the failing dependency. If you fully understand the circumstances preventing your package from passing the dependency verification, and you appreciate the risk involved with skipping that verification, you can add the --skip-dependency-verification flag to the sui client publish command to bypass the dependency check.

Note: If your package includes unpublished dependencies, you can add the --with-unpublished-dependencies flag to the sui client publish command to include modules from those packages in the published build.

Running this command created an object representing the published package. From now on, use the package object ID (0x53e4567ccafa5f36ce84c80aa8bc9be64e0d5ae796884274aef3005ae6733809) in the Sui client call command (similar to 0x2 used for built-in packages in the Calling Move code section).

Another object created as a result of package publishing is a user-defined object (of type Forge) created inside the initializer function of the (only) module included in the published package - see the part of Move developer documentation concerning module initializers for more details.

You might notice that the gas object that was used to pay for publishing was updated as well.

Important: If the publishing attempt results in an error regarding verification failure, build your package locally (using the sui move build command) to get a more verbose error message.

Verify source

Supply a package path to verify-source (or run from package root) to have the CLI compile the package and check that all its modules match their on-chain counterparts.

sui client verify-source ./code/MyPackage

The default behavior is for the command to verify only the direct source of the package, but you can supply the --verify-deps flag to have the command verify dependencies, as well. If you just want to verify dependencies, you can also add the --skip-source flag. Attempting to use the --skip-source flag without including the --verify-deps flag results in an error because there is essentially nothing to verify.

Running sui client verify-source --skip-source --verify-deps does not publish the package, but performs the same dependency verification as sui client publish. You could use this command to check dependency verification before attempting to publish, as described in the previous section.

The sui client verify-source command expects package on-chain addresses to be set in the package manifest. There should not be any unspecified or 0x0 addresses in the package. If you want to verify a seemingly unpublished package against an on-chain address, use the --address-override flag to supply the on-chain address to verify against. This flag only supports packages that are truly unpublished, with all modules at address 0x0. You receive an error if you attempt to use this flag on a published (or somehow partially published) package.

If successful, the command returns a 0 exit code and prints Source verification succeeded! to the console. If it fails, it returns a non-zero exit code and prints an error message to the console.

Customize genesis

You can provide a genesis configuration file using the --config flag to customize the genesis process.

sui genesis --config <Path to genesis config file>
