# How to Generate Your Own MonKey

You need to find a Banano account!

## How do I generate one?

To generate a MonKey, compile the program from the source code or download the latest release for the GUI application [here](https://github.com/altugbakan/vanity-monkey-generator/releases).

![Landing Page for the Vanity MonKey Generator](https://2336794290-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MfmhleZmLaQo4QmQAul%2F-MfmjR_r9mnG1M4dlNiT%2F-Mfml_zJ2_IurEKKMyrH%2Finitial.png?alt=media\&token=fe8fa72e-2fed-4da5-841c-c7778cd72753)

You see the gear icon on the top right? Press it, and you will be greeted with a MonKey designer.

Using the drop-down menus on the left, you can create the MonKey you would like to get.

![How cool is this MonKey!](https://2336794290-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MfmhleZmLaQo4QmQAul%2F-MfmjR_r9mnG1M4dlNiT%2F-MfmoRXiVrdgMZsCVW0s%2Fcustomized-monkey.png?alt=media\&token=2d43097f-b5cf-4814-86f8-7415f32b8231)

You will see that this MonKey has a 1 in 991,277 chance of appearing in the Banano jungle. Press OK to save your MonKey.

Press the "Find Specific MonKey" button. The generator will now try to find a Banano account with a MonKey that matches your specifications.

![Looking Sharp!](https://2336794290-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MfmhleZmLaQo4QmQAul%2F-MfmjR_r9mnG1M4dlNiT%2F-Mfmrb1hQ5cg4o4FuG8v%2Fgenerated-monkey.png?alt=media\&token=03979233-bced-4f86-8192-e65453cf2d6a)

Now, you can copy the seed to any Banano wallet to use your account with the MonKey you want!
