VANITY-ETH
ETH vanity address generator
Vanity-ETH is an open source tool using your web browser to generate Ethereum vanity addresses.
Enter a short prefix/suffix of your choice, and click ‘generate’ to start.
What's a vanity address?
A vanity address is an address which part of it is chosen by yourself, making it look less random.
Examples: 0xc0ffee254729296a45a3885639AC7E10F9d54979,
or 0x999999cf1046e68e36E1aA2E0E07105eDDD1f08E
How it works
Enter the prefix/suffix of your choice, and click ‘generate’ to start. Your browser will generate lots
of random addresses until one matches your input.
Once an address is found, you can reveal the private key, or click the 'save' button to download a
password-encrypted keystore file.
You can increase the number of working threads to reach higher speeds, or decrease it if you computer
struggles.
Security
Vanity-ETH cannot and will never store your private key, Vanity-ETH uses a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) to generate Ethereum addresses. The keystore file is encrypted with a AES-128-CTR cipher using the BKDF2-SHA256 derivation function with 65536 hashing rounds.
Performance
For some reason, the performance of Vanity-ETH can vary a lot from a browser to another. Currently,
Chrome provides the best results.
Using Vanity-ETH on your phone or tablet will work, but don't expect to reach the speed of a good old
computer.
Compatibility
Any address generated with Vanity-ETH is ERC-20 compatible, which means you can use it for an ICO, an
airdrop, or just to withdraw your funds from an exchange.
The keystore file is 100% compatible with MyEtherWallet, MetaMask, Mist, and geth.
