# BIP-44 derivation paths
|
|
|
|
Each coin uses [BIP-44] derivation path scheme. If the coin is UTXO-based the path
|
|
should have all five parts, precisely as defined in [BIP-32]. If it is account-based we
|
|
follow Stellar's [SEP-0005] - paths have only three parts `44'/c'/a'`. Unfortunately,
|
|
lot of exceptions occur due to compatibility reasons.
|
|
|
|
Keys are derived according to [SLIP-10], which is a superset of the BIP-32 derivation
|
|
algorithm, extended to work on other curves.

`c` stands for the [SLIP-44 id] of the currency, when multiple currencies are handled
|
|
by the same code. `a` is an account number, `y` is change address indicator (must be
|
|
0 or 1), and `i` is address index.

|
|
|
|
Paths that do not conform to this table are allowed, but user needs to confirm a warning
|
|
on Trezor.
|
|
|
|
### Public nodes
|
|
|
|
Some currencies allow exporting a _public node_, which lets the client derive all
|
|
non-hardened paths below it. In that case, the conforming path is equal to the
|
|
hardened prefix.
|
|
|
|
I.e., for Bitcoin's path `44'/c'/a'/y/i`, the allowed public node path is `44'/c'/a'`.
|
|
|
|
Trezor does not check if the path is followed by other non-hardened items (anyone can
|
|
derive those anyway). This is beneficial for Ethereum and its MEW compatibility, which
|
|
sends `44'/60'/0'/0` for getPublicKey.
|
|
|
|
### Notes
|
|
|
|
1. <a name="Bitcoin"></a> For Bitcoin and its derivatives it is a little bit more
|
|
complicated. `p` is decided based on the following table:
|
|
|
|
| p | type | input script type |
|
|
| --- | --------------- | ----------------- |
|
|
| 44 | legacy | SPENDADDRESS |
|
|
| 48 | legacy multisig | SPENDMULTISIG |
|
|
| 49 | p2sh segwit | SPENDP2SHWITNESS |
|
|
| 84 | native segwit | SPENDWITNESS |
|
|
|
|
Other `p` are disallowed.
|
|
|
|
2. <a name="Ethereum"></a> We believe this should be `44'/c'/a'`, because Ethereum is
|
|
account-based, rather than UTXO-based. Unfortunately, lot of Ethereum tools (MEW,
|
|
Metamask) do not use such scheme and set `a = 0` and then iterate the address index
|
|
`i`. Therefore for compatibility reasons we use the same scheme.
|
|
|
|
3. <a name="Ripple"></a> Similar to Ethereum this should be `44'/c'/a'`. But for
|
|
compatibility with other HW vendors we use `44'/c'/a'/0/0`.
|
|
|
|
4. <a name="Cardano"></a> Cardano has a [custom derivation] algorithm that allows
|
|
non-hardened derivation on ed25519.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
5. <a name="NEM"></a> NEM's path should be `44'/43'/a'` as per SEP-0005, but we allow
|
|
`44'/43'/a'/0'/0'` as well for compatibility reasons with NanoWallet.
|
|
|
|
6. <a name="Tezos"></a> Tezos supports multiple curves, but Trezor currently supports
|
|
ed25519 only.
|
|
|
|
Sign message paths are validated in the same way as the sign tx paths are.
|
|
|
|
## Allowed values
|
|
|
|
For UTXO-based currencies, account number `a` needs to be in the interval \[0, 20]
|
|
and address index `i` in the interval \[0, 1 000 000].
|
|
|
|
For account-based currencies (i.e., those that do not use address indexes), account
|
|
number `a` needs to be in the interval \[0, 1 000 000]
