## Create Test Accounts and Send Transactions From Endless CLI <a href="#create-test-accounts-and-send-transactions-from-endless-cli" id="create-test-accounts-and-send-transactions-from-endless-cli"></a>

{% hint style="info" %}
You can install the Endless CLI by following these steps if you have not done so already.
{% endhint %}

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:

```shell
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.

{% hint style="info" %}
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.
