What's a wallet address?
A wallet address is an address which part of it is chosen by yourself, making it look less random.
Examples: 0x00000000219ab540356cbb839cbe05303d7705fa, or 0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2
How it works(Vanity ETH | Ethereum vanity address generator)
Enter the prefix/suffix of your choice, and click [Generate] to start. Your browser will generate lots of random addresses until one matches your input.
Once an address is found, you can reveal the private key, or click the 'save' button to download a password-encrypted keystore file.
You can increase the number of working threads to reach higher speeds, or decrease it if you computer struggles.
Security(Vanity ETH | Ethereum vanity address generator)
As explained above, everything is computed only in your browser. Nothing ever leaves your machine, or even your browser tab. There is no database, no server-side code. Everything vanishes when you close your tab.
ETH uses a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) to generate Ethereum addresses.
The keystore file is encrypted with a AES-128-CTR cipher using the BKDF2-SHA256 derivation function with 65536 hashing rounds.
Performance
For some reason, the performance of wallet-ETH can vary a lot from a browser to another. Currently, Chrome provides the best results.
Using wallet-ETH on your phone or tablet will work, but don't expect to reach the speed of a good old computer.
Compatibility
Any address generated with ETH is ERC-20 compatible, which means you can use it for an ICO, an airdrop, or just to withdraw your funds from an exchange.
The keystore file is 100% compatible with MyEtherWallet, MetaMask, ImToken, Mist, and geth.
