Execution is not a security rating. CLI: Software runs in a selected local environment; GPU: Hardware accelerates candidate processing; Hosted: A remote service participates in generation.

Compare generators by where keys are created, what engine they run and how their output is verified. Speed alone is not enough to assess a tool.

## Compare the location of key creation first

A hosted tool and a local tool make different tradeoffs. Hosted generation avoids local GPU setup but places the secret on remote infrastructure. Local generation moves that execution to your own environment; it still requires trustworthy software and a secure device.

A split-key design is a separate cryptographic workflow, not a label for any tool that returns a private key. TRONVanity’s current hosted service does not provide split-key generation.


## Questions to ask before comparing speed

Use a concrete checklist rather than treating a large addresses-per-second claim as evidence of safety.


| Question | Evidence to look for |
| --- | --- |
| Where is the private key created? | Documented execution and data flow |
| Which formats and patterns are supported? | Explicit input validation and output specification |
| Is the output independently checked? | Address derived again from the exported key |
| What can be retained? | Documented result and provider retention |
| What does the benchmark measure? | Hardware, pattern, case mode and elapsed-time definition |


## How this site fits the checklist

TRONVanity uses a server-side GPU worker, supports one prefix or suffix, and validates the returned key/address pair. It does not publish a universal speed guarantee or claim a third-party security certification.

Read [the hosted trust model](https://www.tronvanity.io/blog/is-tron-vanity-address-safe) and [the difference between difficulty and timing](https://www.tronvanity.io/blog/tron-vanity-address-difficulty). Choose a tool whose requirements you can evaluate, rather than a ranking based on unverified marketing figures.

- [How TRON Vanity Address Generation Works](https://www.tronvanity.io/blog/tron-vanity-address-generation) — A worker searches private keys, derives their addresses and stops when an address matches your prefix or suffix. TRON Base58Check addresses begin with T.
- [Is a TRON Vanity Address Safe?](https://www.tronvanity.io/blog/is-tron-vanity-address-safe) — A vanity pattern is a visual preference, not a security property. The generation method and private-key handling determine the trust required.
