Solana Vanity Token Address

A vanity token address is a mint address that starts or ends with characters you choose, such as your ticker. The DexLab token creator includes a free vanity address generator: enter up to 4 characters, choose whether they should start or end the address, and the tool grinds keypairs in your browser until one matches. The matched address becomes the contract address of your token when you mint.

Everything runs locally. The keypairs are generated inside your browser and are never sent anywhere, and grinding costs nothing; you pay only the normal creation cost when you mint the token.

How to Get a Custom Token Address

  1. Open the token creator

    Go to the DexLab create page. The CA (contract address) block above the form shows the mint address your token will use, with the dice button giving a fresh random address any time.

  2. Choose where the custom characters go

    The custom address control offers Start and End: the characters can begin the address or close it.

  3. Enter up to 4 characters

    Letters and the digits 1 through 9 are accepted. The digit 0 is not, because Solana addresses use base58, which never contains a zero. Matching is case-insensitive.

  4. Press Generate and wait for a match

    The tool grinds random keypairs in your browser and highlights the matching part of the address as it searches. A run stops after 60 seconds if no match is found, and you can press Stop or simply run it again.

  5. Mint with the matched address

    Once a match is found, the address stays in the form. Fill in the token details and create the token; the vanity address becomes the on-chain mint address, and the grind itself adds nothing to the cost.

Vanity address FAQ

What is a Solana vanity address?

An address whose visible characters are partly chosen, for example a token mint that starts with the ticker of the project. It is generated by trying random keypairs until one happens to match the wanted pattern.

Is the vanity generator safe?

Yes. The keypairs are generated locally in your browser with the standard Solana library, and the private key never leaves the page. DexLab never sees or stores it.

Why is the pattern limited to 4 characters?

Each additional character multiplies the number of keypairs that must be tried, so long patterns quickly become impractical in a browser. The generator caps a run at 60 seconds; short patterns usually match well within that, and you can always rerun.

Is the match case-sensitive?

No. The generator compares the pattern and the address without case, which makes matches faster. The highlight in the form shows exactly what matched.

Which characters can I use?

Letters and the digits 1 through 9. The digit 0 is rejected because Solana addresses are base58 encoded and never contain it.

Does a vanity address cost extra?

No. Grinding is free and runs on your own device. Creating the token afterwards costs the standard 0.15 SOL creation fee plus about 0.02 SOL of network rent, the same as with a random address.
