Monero Vanity Address Generator

A vanity address is a Monero wallet address that starts with a custom prefix you choose — like "4XMR", "4Shop", or "4Donate". It's the Monero equivalent of a personalized license plate. The address is fully functional and indistinguishable from any other Monero address — it's just more memorable.

For example, instead of 46zE6o3G..., your business could accept payments at 4Shop6o3G....

Yes. A vanity address is a standard Monero address — it's generated using the same cryptographic algorithms (Ed25519 + keccak). It works with the official Monero CLI/GUI wallet, Cake Wallet, Monerujo, Feather Wallet, MyMonero, and any wallet that supports importing seeds or private keys.

The only difference is that the first few characters happen to spell something meaningful. Under the hood, it's identical to any other Monero address.

Generation time scales exponentially with prefix length because we brute-force random seeds until one produces a matching address:

2 characters (e.g. "4X"): ~3,000 attempts — seconds
3 characters (e.g. "4XM"): ~195,000 attempts — 3–10 minutes
4 characters (e.g. "4XMR"): ~11 million attempts — 2–8 hours
5 characters: ~656 million attempts — several days (contact us)

Actual times vary based on server load and luck — you might get lucky and find it faster!

No. Your privacy is fully preserved. The vanity address is generated using a random seed, just like any other Monero wallet. Here's what we do and don't know:

We know what prefix you want — that's it.
We generate random seeds and derive addresses locally.
Once we find a match, we deliver the seed to you.
We never store your seed or keys.
Monero's stealth addresses mean nobody can link transactions to your public address.

Want extra peace of mind? After receiving your address, move your funds to a new wallet generated on your own device. The vanity address still worked for the initial branding purpose.

Monero addresses use Base58 encoding — a set of 58 characters designed to avoid visual ambiguity. Valid characters are:

123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz

Characters excluded to prevent confusion: 0 (zero, looks like O), O (uppercase O, looks like 0), I (uppercase I, looks like l), l (lowercase L, looks like I).

If we cannot generate your address within the maximum allocated time (5× the estimate), we'll refund your payment minus a small processing fee (network fee only). However, this is extremely rare — the probability of not finding a match within 5× the expected attempts is less than 0.7%.

For 5+ character prefixes, we'll contact you with a custom quote before you pay.

🔬 Understanding Monero Addresses

A Monero address is a 95-character Base58 string encoding a pair of Ed25519 public keys plus network and checksum bytes. Every address contains:

Byte	Field	Description
0	Network Byte	`0x12` = Mainnet \| `0x2A` = Subaddress
1–32	Public Spend Key	32-byte Ed25519 public key (used for key images)
33–64	Public View Key	32-byte Ed25519 public key (used for stealth addressing)
65–68	Checksum	First 4 bytes of Keccak-256 hash of bytes 0–64

The 69 raw bytes are encoded with Base58 (which expands ~36%), giving the final 95-character address. The first character is always 4 (mainnet) or 8 (subaddress) — which is why vanity prefixes can only start from character position 2 onward for mainnet, or position 1 for subaddresses.

Why does this matter for vanity addresses? Because we're brute-forcing random private keys and deriving the corresponding public keys, the prefix we match is the Base58 representation of the final address. We can match any valid Base58 sequence at any position — the network byte constraint only affects the very first character.

🛡️ Security & Trust Model

We take security seriously. Here's exactly how the generation process works, so you can make an informed decision:

✅ What We Do

Generate a cryptographically random 256-bit seed using secure RNG
Derive Ed25519 keypair and corresponding Monero address (open-source monero-python / monero-wallet-cli)
Check if the address matches your prefix; if not, repeat
Deliver the seed + keys to you via encrypted page (HTTPS only)
Delete all server-side data immediately after delivery

⚠️ Trust Assumptions

You trust us not to keep a copy of your private keys
You trust us to use secure RNG (not biased toward keys we know)
You trust our server is not compromised during generation
