Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the generator.

Getting Started

What is a vanity Solana address?
A vanity Solana address is a custom cryptocurrency wallet address that contains specific characters or patterns you choose. For example, instead of a random address like G2sc..., you could have sol... or moon... It functions exactly like a normal address.
How does the generator work?
Our generator uses optimized client-side code (WebAssembly) to rapidly generate and test Solana addresses directly in your browser until it finds one matching your desired pattern. The process is completely safe - you receive both the address and its corresponding private key without it ever leaving your device.
Is it free to use?
Yes! Our vanity address generator is completely free for all supported patterns. Since it runs on your own device, there are no server costs for us to pass on to you.
How long does it take?
Generation time depends on your pattern length and device speed: 1-2 characters are usually instant, 3-4 chars take seconds, while 5+ chars might take minutes or hours. Each additional character increases difficulty exponentially.

Security & Safety

Are vanity addresses safe?
Yes, when generated correctly. Our tool uses secure key generation standards. Your private key is generated securely and only you have access to it.
Do you see my private keys?
No. Private keys are derived client-side in your browser using the seed found by the generator. The keys never leave your device and are never sent to our servers.
Should I verify my address?
Yes! Always import your private key into a trusted wallet (like Phantom or Solflare) and verify that it generates the same address before sending any funds. This is a best practice.

Technical

What characters can I use?
Solana addresses use Base58 characters: 1-9, A-H, J-N, P-Z, a-k, m-z. Note that 0, O, I, and l are not allowed to avoid confusion.
Can I generate prefix AND suffix?
Currently, we support either a prefix OR a suffix per generation to keep speeds optimal. Generating both simultaneously is exponentially harder.
