FAQs about Monero (XMR) wallet generation, address generation, keys, seed phrases, and bulk generation.
How do I generate a Monero (XMR) wallet address?
Use the Single Generator to create a fresh mainnet address, spend/view keys, and a 25-word Monero seed. For best security, generate offline (air-gapped) and never share your seed or private keys.
Is Monero address generation done locally in my browser?
Yes. This tool generates keys locally using your browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator (CSPRNG). No address generation requires a server.
What is the Monero 25-word seed phrase and why is it important?
Monero uses a 25-word mnemonic (seed) that encodes your private spend key and includes a checksum word. Anyone with your seed can fully control your funds.
What’s the difference between a public address, public view key, and public spend key?
Your public address is what you share to receive funds. It contains public spend/view keys. The public view key can be used to view incoming transactions without spending; the public spend key is used to derive one-time destination keys on-chain.
What’s the difference between private spend key and private view key?
The private spend key authorizes spending. The private view key allows scanning and identifying outputs destined for you. Both are sensitive; the spend key (and seed) must remain secret.
Can I generate multiple Monero addresses in bulk?
Yes. The Bulk Generator creates multiple wallets/addresses in one batch. Bulk generation is useful for testing, research, and operational workflows, but it increases the risk of accidental exposure—securely store outputs.
Is bulk Monero wallet generation safe?
It can be safe if performed offline, on a trusted machine, and if you immediately secure the results. Avoid generating large batches on shared or compromised devices.
Should I reuse a Monero address?
Best practice is to minimize address reuse and prefer subaddresses for different purposes (e.g., per customer or per invoice), improving privacy and organization.
What is a Monero subaddress and when should I use one?
A subaddress is an alternative receive address tied to the same wallet. Subaddresses help you separate incoming payments for accounting and privacy without creating separate wallets.
Does this generator create integrated addresses?
This tool generates standard mainnet addresses. Integrated addresses (with a short payment ID) are legacy; modern Monero workflows typically use subaddresses instead.
How can I verify a generated Monero address is valid?
A standard mainnet address is 95 characters and starts with “4”. For strongest assurance, import the 25-word seed into an official Monero wallet on an offline machine and confirm the derived address matches.
Can I use this to create a cold-storage Monero wallet?
Yes: generate offline, record the 25-word seed securely (paper/metal), and never expose the seed to an internet-connected device. Test recovery with a spare setup before funding.
Does exporting JSON include private keys and the seed phrase?
Yes. Export JSON includes the address, keys, and seed. Treat exported files as highly sensitive and store them securely (ideally encrypted).
Why does the app recommend an air-gapped machine?
An air-gapped machine reduces the risk of malware and data exfiltration. For real funds, offline generation and secure storage are best practice.
