Solana Vanity Keypair Generator

This package allows you to generate Solana keypairs with custom prefixes and/or suffixes. It utilizes multi-threading to improve performance and provides options for customization.

Installation

npm install solana-vanity-keypair-generator

Usage

Here's a basic example of how to use the package:

const { generateSolanaVanityKeypair } = require('solana-vanity-keypair-generator');

async function main() {
  try {
    const result = await generateSolanaVanityKeypair({
      prefix: 'ABC',
      suffix: 'XYZ',
      timeoutSeconds: 600,
      cores: 4
    });
    console.log('Generated keypair:', result);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error:', error.message);
  }
}

main();

Options

The generateSolanaVanityKeypair function accepts an options object with the following properties:

Prefix and Suffix

• You can specify either a prefix, a suffix, or both.
• The generator will create keypairs that match the specified prefix and/or suffix.
• If both prefix and suffix are provided, the generated public key will start with the prefix and end with the suffix.
• Prefixes and suffixes are case-sensitive.

Cores

• By default, the generator uses os.cpus().length - 2 cores, leaving some CPU resources for other tasks.
• You can specify a custom number of cores to use for generation.
• Using more cores can speed up the generation process but will also increase CPU usage.

Timeout

• The timeoutSeconds option sets a maximum duration for the generation process.
• If a matching keypair is not found within this time, the function will throw an error.
• Increase this value for more complex prefix/suffix combinations or if you're willing to wait longer for a result.

Return Value

The function returns a Promise that resolves to an object containing:

• publicKey: The generated public key (as a base58-encoded string)
• privateKey: The corresponding private key (as a base58-encoded string)

Error Handling

The function will throw an error if:

• The generation process times out
• All worker threads exit without finding a result

Make sure to wrap the function call in a try-catch block to handle potential errors.

Performance Considerations

• Longer prefixes/suffixes or combinations of both will take longer to generate.
• The time required grows exponentially with the length of the desired prefix/suffix.
• Consider using shorter vanity strings for quicker results.
