VANITY ADDRESSES

most coin addresses end in …FLoNK. they're generated ahead of time and handed out one per launch, while the pool lasts. the source of truth for a coin's address is its page on flonklaunch.xyz.

  • a vanity key can do exactly one thing: create its own mint, once. after launch, minting, freezing and metadata sit with Raydium's program, so whoever holds that key afterwards controls nothing.
  • keys are encrypted at rest, used once and never reused.
  • your wallet signs first. flonk adds the mint's signature only to a launch from your wallet on flonk's platform.
  • if the pool of addresses runs dry, your coin gets a normal random address.

plain note: for a moment, flonk's server holds the reserved address before your launch lands. reservations are tied to your wallet and expire after 15 minutes.
