Issue #01 · The Calm

Galene

A local Sui sandbox, filled with real mainnet state.

Run Sui mainnet on your machine with live on-chain state. Fork, fund, break, and reshape it, all without touching the real network.

Act I · the problem

Local Sui development forces a bad choice

You want mainnet's state, not its risk.

A developer at a barren, empty localnet terminal.
An empty localnet…01
Nothing real to test against!
A developer watching gas burn on mainnet.
…or risk real mainnet.02
There goes my gas!
Galene rising from a calm sea to the rescue.
Then the sea calmed.03
I'll fork mainnet, locally.
There had to be a calmer way. Galene fills the gap.
Act II · the powers

A fork that does it all

Compose, execute, replay, and rewind, all locally.

Any token. Any balance. Instantly.

No bridging, begging public faucets, or hunting a whale. Galene mints any Coin<T> at any balance, to any address, the second you ask.

Faucet
// known coins, by symbol
galene_faucet("USDC", "1000000", "0xariessa")

// ...or ANY Coin<T>, by full type
galene_mintCoin("0x..::wbtc::WBTC", "5", "0xariessa")

Copy-on-read fork

Touch live mainnet objects locally. Galene fetches and caches them on demand, no manual dumping.

A real Move execution engine

Submit real transactions against forked mainnet objects, in an in-process Move VM.

State cheatcodes

Fund gas, impersonate any address, overwrite objects, warp epochs and time.

Historical replay

Replay any past mainnet transaction with full effects, gas, and trace.

Object-graph time travel

Step a PTB command by command and watch the object graph change.

Galene Studio

A local dashboard: graph debugger, faucet, object diff, execution panel.

Act III · the cheats

Bend the rules over JSON-RPC

Custom methods that do what a real chain never lets you.

Plouto minting a shower of coins.
Need any token?01
Any coin. A million. Done.
Time warping forward through epochs.
Time-locked?02
Skip ahead an epoch.
A live mainnet object pulled into the engine.
Live object?03
Pulled from mainnet.
And a dozen more where those came from. Galene. All a call away.
