Bitcoin Derivation Path


The cool thing about extended keys is that they can derive children, and these child keys can derive more children, and so on. This allows you to create a tree of extended keys, with each key having its own unique derivation path from the master key.
NotationDescription
/Indicate a new branch with number of new child.
'Hardened Child means that no new child can be derived by extended public key, unless you derived from extended private key. Index range from 2147483648 to 4294967296.
without 'Normal Child is the inverse of Hardened Child. Index range from 0 to 2147483647.
