BIP-44

Moderate

A convention on top of BIP-32 that defines a five-level derivation path — purpose / coin type / account / change / index — so wallets across different software can reach the same addresses from the same seed. SSP follows BIP-44 paths (and the SegWit equivalents BIP-49 and BIP-84) so your keys are recoverable in any BIP-44-compliant wallet.
