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
-
- As explained above, everything is computed only in your browser. Nothing ever leaves your machine, or even
- your browser tab. There is no database, no server-side code. Everything vanishes when you close your tab.
Vanity-ETH cannot and will never store your private key, and if you don't trust it, you have 3 ways to ensure
- your key remains private:
- - Once the web page is loaded, you can turn off the internet and continue playing, it will work seamlessly
- - You can also download the latest build of Vanity-ETH
- here and use it on a completely offline computer
- - The code is 100% open source and available on
- Github. You can review it as much as you want before using it
- 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.
