Solana Vanity Address Generator

A high-performance Rust-based tool to generate Solana vanity addresses with custom prefix and/or suffix patterns.

Features

• 🚀 Multi-threaded: Utilizes all CPU cores for maximum performance
• 🎯 Flexible Matching: Support for prefix, suffix, or both
• 📊 Real-time Progress: Optional verbose mode to track generation speed
• ✅ Base58 Validation: Ensures only valid Base58 characters are used
• 🔒 Secure: Generates cryptographically secure keypairs

Installation

Prerequisites

• Rust 1.70 or higher
• Cargo (comes with Rust)

Build from Source

git clone <repository-url>
cd vanity-address-solana
cargo build --release

The compiled binary will be available at target/release/vanity-address-solana

Install Globally (Recommended)

To install the binary globally so you can run it from anywhere:

cargo install --path .

After installation, you can run the tool directly:

vanity-address-solana --prefix "ABC"

Alternative: Add to PATH

You can also add the release directory to your PATH:

# macOS/Linux - Add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc
export PATH="$PATH:$(pwd)/target/release"

Then run:

vanity-address-solana --prefix "ABC"

Usage

Quick Start (After Building)

If you built with cargo build --release:

# Run from project directory
./target/release/vanity-address-solana --prefix "ABC"

# Or using cargo run (slower, but convenient during development)
cargo run --release -- --prefix "ABC"

If you installed globally with cargo install --path .:

vanity-address-solana --prefix "ABC"

Basic Commands

Generate an address with a specific prefix:

cargo run --release -- --prefix "ABC"

Generate an address with a specific suffix:

cargo run --release -- --suffix "xyz"

Generate an address with both prefix and suffix:

cargo run --release -- --prefix "Sol" --suffix "123"

Generate multiple addresses:

cargo run --release -- --prefix "ABC" --count 5

Generate with case-sensitive matching:

cargo run --release -- --prefix "ABC" --case-sensitive

Advanced Options

Specify number of threads:

cargo run --release -- --prefix "ABC" --threads 8

Enable verbose mode to see real-time attempts:

cargo run --release -- --prefix "ABC" --verbose

Combine multiple options:

cargo run --release -- --prefix "Sol" --suffix "end" --count 3 --case-sensitive --verbose --threads 16

Command-line Arguments

• -p, --prefix <PREFIX>: Specify the prefix pattern to match
• -s, --suffix <SUFFIX>: Specify the suffix pattern to match
• -n, --count <COUNT>: Number of addresses to generate (default: 1)
• -t, --threads <THREADS>: Number of threads to use (default: number of CPU cores)
• -c, --case-sensitive: Enable case-sensitive matching (default: case-insensitive)
• -v, --verbose: Show attempts per second in real-time
• -h, --help: Show help information
• -V, --version: Show version information

Examples

Example 1: Simple Prefix Search

cargo run --release -- --prefix "Dog"

Output:

🔍 Searching for Solana vanity address with prefix 'Dog'
⚙️  Using 8 threads
⏳ This may take a while...

✅ Found vanity address!

📍 Public Key:  DogXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
🔑 Private Key: [1, 2, 3, ...]

📊 Statistics:

Example 2: Suffix Search with Verbose Mode

cargo run --release -- --suffix "end" --verbose

Example 3: Combined Prefix and Suffix

cargo run --release -- --prefix "Sol" --suffix "Dev"

Example 4: Generate Multiple Addresses

cargo run --release -- --prefix "ABC" --count 10 --verbose

Output:

Important Notes

Matching Modes

• Case-insensitive (default): Matches patterns regardless of case. For example, --prefix "abc" will match Abc, ABC, aBc, etc.
• Case-sensitive: Use --case-sensitive flag to match exact case. For example, --prefix "ABC" --case-sensitive will only match addresses starting with uppercase ABC.

Note: Case-insensitive mode significantly increases your chances of finding a match since it accepts any combination of upper/lowercase letters.

Security

• Keep your private key secure: Never share your private key with anyone
• Back up your keys: Store them in a secure location
• The private key is displayed in array format for easy import

Performance

• Longer patterns take exponentially more time to find
• Each additional character increases difficulty by ~58x (Base58 alphabet)
• Using more threads generally improves performance

Base58 Alphabet

Valid characters: 123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz

Note: The following characters are NOT valid in Base58:

• 0 (zero)
• O (uppercase o)
• I (uppercase i)
• l (lowercase L)

Difficulty Estimation

Pattern Length	Approximate Attempts	Estimated Time (50k/sec)
1 character	~29	< 1 second
2 characters	~1,682	< 1 second
3 characters	~97,336	~2 seconds
4 characters	~5.6M	~2 minutes
5 characters	~328M	~1.8 hours
6 characters	~19B	~4.4 days

Note: These are rough estimates. Actual time depends on CPU performance and luck.

Troubleshooting

Error: "Invalid Base58 character"

Make sure your prefix/suffix only contains valid Base58 characters. Avoid 0, O, I, and l.

Low Performance

1. Make sure you're using the --release flag when building/running
2. Try adjusting the number of threads with --threads
3. Close other CPU-intensive applications
