What problem does it solve? Finding a Solana address that starts with a specific prefix (like a token ticker or brand name) requires brute-force keypair generation, which is impractically slow with naive single-threaded scripts. This Skill guides you to the fastest available method for grinding vanity addresses and helps you avoid common pitfalls like invalid base58 characters or unrealistic prefix lengths. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Tool Selection Guidance: Defaults to the multithreaded Rust-based solana-keygen grind CLI and only falls back to the repo's src/grind.js script when the Solana CLI cannot be installed. - Grind Time Estimation: Provides a lookup table of expected search times by prefix length so you can pick a realistic prefix before committing CPU time. - Troubleshooting & Security Notes: Covers invalid base58 characters (0, O, I, l), parallelization strategies, and safe handling of generated keypair JSON files. - Use Case: Before launching a token called MEME, grind a creator address starting with MEME so the on-chain creator address reinforces the project's branding. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to grind a Solana vanity address starting with your chosen prefix, for example "grind a vanity Solana address starting with MEME".
