How do I get a dummy NFT for testing on testnet?

I'm looking to test with an NFT on a testnet environment. Does anyone know how I can get a dummy NFT for this purpose or use any existing ones?

To get a dummy NFT on the Sui Testnet for development and testing purposes, you can follow these streamlined steps:

✅ Step-by-Step: Mint or Obtain a Dummy NFT on Sui Testnet

You can either mint your own test NFT using dev tools or use an existing faucet that provides demo NFTs.


Option 1: Use the Sui Testnet NFT Faucet (Recommended)

The Sui team or ecosystem projects often host public NFT faucet apps.

  1. Visit the Sui NFT Faucet (if available):

  2. Connect your Testnet wallet (e.g., Sui Wallet, Surf Wallet).

  3. Click “Mint Test NFT” — a sample NFT will be created and added to your wallet.

  4. Check your assets at https://explorer.sui.io by pasting your address.


Option 2: Mint NFT via CLI or Script

If you want to mint your own NFT via Move or TS SDK:

  • Use Sui CLI:

    sui client call \
      --package <test-package-id> \
      --module <nft-module> \
      --function mint \
      --args "<name>" "<description>" "<image-url>" \
      --gas-budget 10000
    

    Replace with testnet values and NFT module. If you don't have one, deploy a dummy module.

  • Or use Sui TypeScript SDK with the mint_example_nft.ts script from the Sui repo: Sui TS SDK NFT Example


⚠ Notes:

  • Always confirm that your wallet is set to the correct Testnet RPC.
  • If you're using a deployed test NFT package, make sure it's deployed on the same testnet epoch (testnet resets can invalidate old packages).
