What Are Vanity Crypto Addresses and How They’re Made

In crypto, your wallet address is your identity. But what if you could personalize it? That’s exactly what vanity addresses allow — blockchain addresses that start with custom text, like 1LOVE or 0xDEAD.

At wmiran.com, we see privacy-focused users and brands experimenting with vanity addresses to stand out or stay stealthy. Here’s how they work and what to know before creating one.

What Is a Vanity Address?

A vanity address is a crypto address that contains a custom pattern or word in the beginning. For example:

• Bitcoin: 1CoinKingZ4...
• Ethereum: 0xdeadbeef....

They work just like any normal wallet — but are generated specifically to match a desired prefix.

Why Use a Vanity Address?

• Branding: Projects or influencers want recognizable wallet names
• Privacy: Some users prefer generating a unique-looking address to avoid clustering
• Fun or novelty: Memorable addresses for donations, tips, or humor

How Are Vanity Addresses Created?

To get a vanity address, users run a special sсript that generates thousands (or millions) of key pairs — until one matches the desired pattern. It’s a brute-force method and can take minutes or hours depending on the complexity.

For Bitcoin, popular tools inсlude:

• Vanitygen+
• vanitygen -v -i 1LOVE

For Ethereum, tools like ethvanity or browser-based generators are used.

Risks of Vanity Address Services

• Don’t trust online generators: Many steal private keys
• Always generate offline: Run the sсript locally, without internet
• Never share the private key: Even for cool-looking addresses

If you didn’t generate the address yourself, you can’t trust it. Ever.

Do Vanity Addresses Cost Gas or Extra Fees?

No. Once generated, they function like any other wallet. You pay regular gas/network fees — nothing more. But creating the address costs time and CPU power.
