GUI Usage
After finding an address, create a new Monero wallet:
Input the address, private view key, and private spend key:
And verify your new wallet address is correct:
CLI Usage
Usage: monero-vanity [--OPTIONS]
Options:
-t, --threads <THREADS> How many threads to use [default: HALF_THREADS]
-p, --pattern <PATTERN> Address regex pattern to look for
-f, --first Start from 1st character instead of: ^4.PATTERN.*$
-r, --refresh <REFRESH> How many milliseconds in-between output refreshes [default: 500]
-v, --version Print version
-h, --help Print help (see more with '--help')
Example 1 - Basic pattern using half threads:
./monero-vanity --pattern hinto
> 44hinto...
Example 2 - Advanced regex pattern using half threads:
./monero-vanity --first --pattern "^4(4|8)h(i|1)nto.*$"
> 48hinto...
After finding the private spend key:
./monero-wallet-cli --generate-from-spend-key YOUR_WALLET_NAME
Enter the private key and the generated wallet will have the address found.
Notes:
- Rust regex is allowed in any mode
- All characters must be ASCII, Unicode, or a regex pattern
I
,O
,l
,0
,+
,/
are invalid characters in Monero addresses- Using slightly less than max threads might be faster
monero-vanity
automatically prefixes your input with ^4.
and suffixes it with .*$
so that your PATTERN starts from the 3rd character until the 43rd character of the address.
Example input: hinto
Actual regex used: ^4.hinto.*$
To disable this, use --first
.
Warning: this puts you in full control of the regex, you can input any value, even an impossible one.

Implementation
- Random
[u8; 64]
is generated (512 bits/64 bytes) - Scalar is created by reducing the above bytes
- Compressed EdwardsPoint's base58 encoding is checked (4...) with regex
- If match, create full address and return to user, else...
- Increment EdwardsPoint by 1 and continue
Notes:
- Each thread seeds its own RNG
- The (optional) private view key is also created by reducing 512 random bits
Build
cargo build --release
Optimized for your specific CPU (up to 15%~ speed increase):
RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" cargo build --release
Thanks
Big thanks to kayabaNerve for helping me with ECC cryptography and Rust (he's the reason why it's fast).
