vanity-address

The AlgoKit Vanity Address feature allows you to generate a vanity Algorand address. A vanity address is an address that contains a specific keyword in it. The keyword can only include uppercase letters A-Z and numbers 2-7. The longer the keyword, the longer it may take to generate a matching address.

Usage

Available commands and possible usage as follows:

> algokit task vanity-address
Usage: algokit task vanity-address [OPTIONS] KEYWORD


  Generate a vanity Algorand address. Your KEYWORD can only include letters A - Z and numbers 2 - 7. Keeping your
  KEYWORD under 5 characters will usually result in faster generation. Note: The longer the KEYWORD, the longer it may
  take to generate a matching address. Please be patient if you choose a long keyword.


Options:
  -m, --match [start|anywhere|end]
                                  Location where the keyword will be included. Default is start.
  -o, --output [stdout|alias|file]
                                  How the output will be presented.
  -a, --alias TEXT                Alias for the address. Required if output is "alias".
  --file-path PATH                File path where to dump the output. Required if output is "file".
  -f, --force                     Allow overwriting an aliases without confirmation, if output option is 'alias'.
  -h, --help                      Show this message and exit.
