When to use it

A vanity address is an ordinary Solana keypair whose address starts or ends with text you chose, such as a brand name, your initials or a word. It's as random as any other key; it just took many attempts to find. Use one for a project treasury, a personal wallet, or anywhere a recognisable address helps. For a token's mint address, the SPL and Token-2022 creators grind one for you under Advanced.

Setting the pattern

• Starts with, ends with, or both at once.
• Addresses use base58: 1–9, A–Z and a–z, but never 0, O, I or l.
• Case-insensitive is much faster, because each letter can match two ways.
• Keep the total under about 6 characters. Longer patterns take too long to find in a browser.

How long it takes

Each extra character makes a match about 58 times rarer (roughly 30 times, case-insensitive). The page shows how many keys it has tried as it runs, all in this one browser tab. As a rough guide, three characters takes seconds, four a few minutes, and five can take hours. A prefix starting with a letter late in the alphabet is much rarer than one starting with 1–9 or A–J; the same letters as a suffix are faster. Keep the tab in front while it runs.

Saving the key

When a match is found, you get the address and its secret key in two formats: a byte array (the standard keyfile format the Solana CLI reads, which Download keyfile saves as JSON) and base58, which Phantom, Solflare and Backpack can import. Save it before you leave the page. The key is never stored or sent anywhere, so closing the tab loses it permanently.

What it costs

Free. It uses only your device's processing time.
