Sui Incentivized Testnet
Past
02 Aug 2022 - 03 May 2023
The Sui Incentivized Testnet was a foundational, multi-wave historical testnet program orchestrated by Mysten Labs and the Sui Foundation prior to the network's mainnet launch. Running from August 2022 through early 2023, the initiative was designed to rigorously stress-test network operations, validator performance, tokenomics, and Move-based decentralized applications. Participants - including validators, full node operators, and developers - engaged in consecutive waves featuring operational and developer challenges. The highly anticipated program served as a primary avenue for early ecosystem contributors to earn mainnet SUI token allocations and staking delegations upon the network's official genesis.

How to join Sui - Sui Incentivized Testnet?
The Sui Incentivized Testnet operated across distinct, highly technical waves to test core network infrastructure. The Sui Foundation committed to rewarding selected validators with 2,000 SUI for each testnet wave they successfully participated in, subject to strict minimum performance thresholds and a 1-year lockup period post-mainnet. Furthermore, the Foundation pledged to delegate up to 10% of Sui's total token supply to the highest-performing validators who continued their node operations into the mainnet era.
Beyond core node operators, the testnet incorporated robust community testing through specialized mechanics. During Wave 2, the team introduced the Frenemies game, which was specifically designed to stress-test network tokenomics via artificial stake distribution fluctuations. To protect the integrity of the testnet and prevent bot abuse, the developers intentionally disabled the API-based faucet, requiring users to request test tokens manually via Discord. Developers were also challenged to deploy Move-based applications, earning recognition and ecosystem positioning ahead of the official mainnet launch.
Step-by-step Guide
Review the original testnet announcement and roadmap on the Sui blog.
Submit your validator application via the designated Airtable form and complete mandatory KYC screening via CoinList.
Provision hardware meeting the strict m5.2xlarge instance specifications to run a validator or full node.
Participate in designated testnet waves, maintaining uptime and engaging in tokenomics simulations such as the Frenemies staking game.
Request testnet tokens manually via the official Discord faucet, as the API faucet was disabled to prevent bot abuse.
Maintain node performance through the transition to claim rewards following the official Sui mainnet genesis.
