As you see above, everything goes through the UserProfile, which is the main entry point into this package.
The main wallet types you can add are
- Ed25519Wallet, which stores arbitrary Ed25519 keypairs.
- Ed25519HdWallet, which generates HD keys à la SLIP-0010 (BIP-0032), with an arbitrary path (not chain-dependent).
- LedgerSimpleAddressWallet which allows you to connect to a Ledger device for signing BNS transaction.
HD derivation paths
Ed25519HdWallet and Secp256k1HdWallet use SLIP-0010 HD key derivation. The class HdPaths can be used to generate derivation paths.
Coin | Derivation path for account index a = 0,1,…
