NEAR vanity address generator
Create a real NEAR address that starts with, ends with, or contains your own pattern — generated on your machine. No accounts, no telemetry, keys never leave your device.
How NEAR addresses work
NEAR implicit accounts are the 64-character lowercase hex encoding of an Ed25519 public key. Because the account ID is the key, you can fund it before ever creating it on-chain.
Patterns are limited to 0–9 and a–f. Named accounts such as alice.near are registered on-chain and cannot be ground.
Alphabet: Hex (16 symbols per position). Typical shape: cafe….
How to generate a NEAR vanity address
- Open the web generator or run
npx vanity-address. - Choose NEAR (
near). - Enter a short prefix, suffix, or contains pattern using the Hex alphabet.
- Check the ETA, grind, then verify the result before using it.
npx vanity-address --chain near --suffix cafe
How long will it take?
Each extra character multiplies the work by about 16. Times below are illustrative at one million keys per second; your device may be faster or slower. Use the difficulty calculator with your own speed.
| Pattern length | Expected attempts | Average time @ 1M keys/s |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 16 | under a second |
| 2 | 256 | under a second |
| 3 | 4,096 | under a second |
| 4 | 65,536 | under a second |
| 5 | 1.0 million | 1 second |
| 6 | 16.8 million | 17 seconds |
| 7 | 268 million | 4.5 minutes |
| 8 | 4.3 billion | 1.2 hours |
Tips for NEAR
- Short hex words like
deadorcafetake seconds. - Each extra hex character multiplies the work by 16 — one more character is 16× slower.
- Back up the exported key before sending funds to the account.
Safety
Whoever holds the private key controls the funds. vanity-address creates keys locally from your operating system's secure random source and re-derives every address on the CPU before export. The exported file is a plaintext secret: keep it offline and never commit or email it. Read the security model before moving significant value.
