Educational tool to generate Solana keypairs and vanity addresses. Learn about wallet security and private key management.
This tool is for learning purposes. Never use generated keypairs for real funds. Always use official wallet software for actual Solana wallets.
Vanity Address Generation
Generate addresses that start with your desired pattern. Longer patterns take exponentially more time to find.
• 1-2 characters: Seconds
• 3-4 characters: Minutes
• 5-6 characters: Hours to days
• 7+ characters: Weeks to years
A Solana keypair consists of a public key (your wallet address) and a private key (used to sign transactions). Understanding how these are generated is crucial for wallet security.
This educational tool demonstrates how keypairs are created using the official @solana/web3.js library and helps you understand the importance of secure key generation and storage.
1. Use Official Wallets: Download wallets like Phantom, Solflare, or hardware wallets like Ledger directly from official sources.
2. Air-Gapped Generation: For maximum security, generate keys on a device that has never been connected to the internet.
3. Secure Backup: Write down your seed phrase on paper and store it in multiple secure locations. Learn more in the Solana documentation.
4. Verify Everything: Always double-check addresses and transaction details before confirming.
A vanity address is a wallet address that contains a specific pattern or prefix, like starting with your name or brand. These require computational effort to find.
This tool is for educational purposes only. All generation happens client-side in your browser, but you should never use generated keypairs for real funds without proper security measures.
Time depends on the pattern complexity. Simple 2-3 character prefixes take seconds, while longer patterns can take hours or days.
