vanity-address-generation

vanity-address-generation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nirholas/three.ws. It costs 90 tokens per session (3,393 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to generating blockchain addresses with chosen patterns, such as a prefix or suffix. It explains how addresses are derived from private keys, how brute-force searching works, and the security issues involved.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create vanity wallet or contract addresses, explore GPU-accelerated searches, understand deterministic contract deployment, and review related security concerns.
Why use it?
Finding a memorable address requires repeated cryptographic searches, and careless handling of private keys can put funds at risk. The guide explains the process and its trade-offs.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

vanity-address-generation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Vanity Address Generation — From Cryptographic Foundations

This skill teaches you everything about generating custom blockchain addresses — from the elliptic curve math that creates them, to the brute-force algorithms that find patterns, to the security considerations that keep them safe.

What Is a Vanity Address?

A vanity address has a human-chosen pattern in it:

Standard:  0x7a3b9c2d1e4f5a6b8c0d9e2f3a4b5c6d7e8f9a0b
Vanity:    0xSperax...                  ← starts with "Sperax"
Vanity:    0x...DEAD                    ← ends with "DEAD"
Vanity:    0x000000...                  ← leading zeros (gas savings!)
Use Case Example Why
Brand identity DAO treasury at 0xSperax... Recognizable in block explorers
Gas optimization Contract at 0x000000... Leading zeros save gas on calldata
Memorability Personal wallet 0xNick... Easy to verify at a glance
Security verification Known prefix for official addresses Users can spot fakes faster
Collectibility Rare patterns like 0xDEADBEEF... Fun, flex, verifiable

vanity-address-generation is a skill published in the GitHub repository nirholas/three.ws (110 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 3,393 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
