Create Test Accounts

Create Test Accounts and Send Transactions From Endless CLI

You can install the Endless CLI by following these steps if you have not done so already.

In general, to make a new account on-chain, you will need to generate keys and then fund the account. On test networks, you can fund a new account by asking a "faucet" account with test Endless tokens to send them to your account.

Using the CLI, you can generate and fund a test account using:

endless init --profile <your-profile-name>

Once you have a funded account you can send coins between accounts with the transfer command like this:

endless account transfer --account superuser --amount 100

You should see a result like:

gas_unit_price:100
gas_used:10
balance_changes:[]
sender:GinLHfukKufLYJ757NfyCLpeDvjeNjLPQwc7waco3o7b
success:true
version:26629
vm_status:Executed successfully
transaction_hash:3n9pVx1mW6cPdgXVCwj7kuRPYLfR4pbjRKtUZFNK6hC5

This can be useful for manual testing of Move contracts or just to try seeing how the chain works in practice.

If you want more control over what your generated credentials look like, instead of endless init, you can use:

1. endless key generate --vanity-prefix 0x<your-prefix>

2. endless account fund-with-move --account <your-newly-generated-account-address> --private-key-file <your-newly-generated-account-private-key>

Note however that addresses are different than keys.
