📚 TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION
BIP Standards Implementation:
BIP39 - Mnemonic Phrases
• Standard for generating mnemonic phrases
• 2048 word dictionary for entropy
• Checksum validation for phrase integrity
• Multiple language support available
• Converts entropy to human-readable words
BIP44 - HD Wallets
• Hierarchical Deterministic wallet structure
• Standard derivation path format
• Purpose / Coin / Account / Change / Index
• Cross-wallet compatibility standard
• Unlimited accounts from single seed
Derivation Path Structure:
m / 44' / 501' / account' / change / address_index
PURPOSE (44')
• Always 44 for BIP44
• Indicates HD wallet standard
• Hardened derivation (')
• Indicates HD wallet standard
• Hardened derivation (')
COIN TYPE (501')
• 501 for Solana network
• Registered coin type
• Hardened derivation (')
• Registered coin type
• Hardened derivation (')
ACCOUNT (X')
• User account number
• 0', 1', 2', etc.
• Hardened derivation (')
• 0', 1', 2', etc.
• Hardened derivation (')
CHANGE (0/1)
• 0 for external addresses
• 1 for internal (change)
• Non-hardened derivation
• 1 for internal (change)
• Non-hardened derivation
ADDRESS INDEX
• Sequential address number
• 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.
• Non-hardened derivation
• 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.
• Non-hardened derivation
Common Derivation Path Examples:
| Derivation Path | Description | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| m/44'/501'/0'/0/0 | First account, first address | Primary wallet address |
| m/44'/501'/0'/0/1 | First account, second address | Secondary receiving address |
| m/44'/501'/1'/0/0 | Second account, first address | Separate account/purpose |
| m/44'/501'/0'/1/0 | First account, change address | Internal change handling |
| m/44'/501'/2'/0/0 | Third account, first address | Business/trading account |
Security Best Practices:
SEED PHRASE SECURITY:
• Write down mnemonic on paper (multiple copies)
• Store in different secure physical locations
• Never store digitally unencrypted
• Consider steel backup plates for durability
• Test recovery before using with funds
• Use BIP39 passphrase for additional security
AVOID THESE RISKS:
• Don't take photos of seed phrases
• Never store in cloud services
• Don't share via messaging apps
• Avoid typing into untrusted devices
• Don't store near other sensitive documents
• Never use brain wallets or weak seeds
