How to Generate a Solana Vanity Address (Free, Browser-Side)
Short answer
A vanity address is a Solana keypair whose public key contains a chosen substring (usually a suffix). Generation is brute-force key-guessing, and difficulty grows exponentially with pattern length. Any legitimate vanity tool runs entirely in your browser so the private key never leaves your machine.
You want a Solana wallet or mint address ending in specific characters — for branding, memorable meme energy, or a themed launch — but do not trust cloud vanity services with your private key.
Open MakeMeACoin's Vanity Wallet Generator at /tools/vanity-wallet-generator
Enter your desired suffix (2–5 characters is fast; 6+ takes hours)
The browser generates and tests keypairs locally — no data leaves your machine

Common mistakes
Using a cloud vanity service — anyone who sees the key can drain your wallet.
Requesting 8+ character suffixes on a laptop — cannot complete in reasonable time.
Losing the exported keypair — no recovery possible.
