solana-keygen grind, with the math done

solana-keygen grind ships with the Solana command-line tools and searches for vanity keys on your own CPU. Type your word below for the exact command and the number of keys it should take.

Your command

solana-keygen grind --starts-with Pokk:1

Flags worth knowing

# A chosen beginning
solana-keygen grind --starts-with Pokk:1

# A chosen finish
solana-keygen grind --ends-with Sun:1

# Both at once
solana-keygen grind --starts-and-ends-with Gm:Sun:1

# Capitals ignored, quicker
solana-keygen grind --starts-with pokk:1 --ignore-case

# Fewer CPU threads
solana-keygen grind --starts-with Pokk:1 --num-threads 4

The trailing :1 tells it to stop after one match; raise it to collect several.

Running it

1. Install the Solana tools. Follow the official install guide for your system, then check with solana --version.
2. Run the command. It uses every CPU core by default and prints progress. --num-threads limits it.
3. Find the file. It writes ADDRESS.json in the current folder. That file is the key; solana-keygen pubkey ADDRESS.json prints the address.

When the terminal is too slow

Past four or five letters a laptop can run for hours. Loosen the pattern first: allow any capitals, shorten the ending, or start with a capital between A and H. You can also run the same search in your browser with the address maker, which shows its own speed and odds as it goes.
