vanify

🦚 Brute-force vanity addresses generator for EVM-based blockchains.

Vanity addresses are crypto public keys, personalized and created respecting a series of parameters given by the users of said addresses. This with the aim of making them more personal and easily identifiable, but without giving up the security they provide.

Vanify is a complete implementation of the brute-force vanity address generator for EVM-based blockchains, such as Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, etc, written in Rust.

It supports prefix, suffix, and multiple infixes and disfixes validation, JSON, CSV, XML, and TSV export, optional benchmarking, hex strings formatting, and more.

Installation

From source

You can install Vanify from source by cloning the repository and running the following commands:

$ git clone
$ cd vanify
$ cargo install --path .

From crates.io

You can install Vanify from crates.io by running the following command:

$ cargo install vanify

Usage

Vanify can be used in two ways:

1. As a standalone application, which will generate a random address and check if it matches the given parameters.
2. As a library, which can be used to generate addresses in a loop.

As a standalone application

To use Vanify as a standalone application, you can run the following command:

$ vanify -p 1234 -s 5678 -n 10

This will generate 10 addresses starting with 0x1234 and ending with 5678.

Options

It supports the following parameters:

    -I, --includes-any <INCLUDES-ANY>...    Includes any substring(s)
    -j, --json                              Export to JSON file
    -n, --number <NUMBER>                   Number of addresses to search for
    -p, --prefix <PREFIX>                   Prefix to search for
    -r, --random                            Randomize private key generation
    -R, --random-unique                     Randomize private key generation and ensure uniqueness
    -s, --suffix <SUFFIX>                   Suffix to search for
    -t, --tsv                               Export to TSV file
    -T, --trim-hex                          Trim 0x from output keys
    -v, --verbose                           Verbose output
    -V, --version                           Print version information
    -x, --xml                               Export to XML file
    -X, --xlsx                              Export to XLSX file

If a file export option is provided, the results will be exported to relative path /results.

As a library

To use Vanify as a library, you can add it to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
vanify = "0.2.0"

And then use it in your code:

use vanify::vanity;
