- **Pros**: the most recent type, with greater privacy and flexibility (supports complex scripts hidden behind a single address). Low fees, more efficient Schnorr signatures, signature aggregation
- **Cons**: still relatively new, not supported by all services, higher implementation complexity
### 6. HD Wallet (BIP-32/39/44/49/84/86)
- **Standards**: BIP-32 (hierarchical deterministic wallets), BIP-39 (mnemonic phrases), BIP-44/49/84/86 (derivation paths)
- **Networks**: mainnet, testnet
- **Derivation paths**:
- BIP-44 → P2PKH: `m/44'/0'/account'/0/index` — addresses start with `1` (mainnet)
- BIP-49 → P2SH-P2WPKH: `m/49'/0'/account'/0/index` — addresses start with `3` (mainnet)
- BIP-84 → P2WPKH: `m/84'/0'/account'/0/index` — addresses start with `bc1q` (mainnet)
- BIP-86 → P2TR: `m/86'/0'/account'/0/index` — addresses start with `bc1p` (mainnet)
- **Extended key prefixes**: `xpub`/`xprv` (BIP-44/86), `ypub`/`yprv` (BIP-49), `zpub`/`zprv` (BIP-84)
- **JSON output**: compatible with Electrum wallet format (`keystore`, `xpub`, `xprv`, `derivation`, `root_fingerprint`, `seed_version: 17`)
- **Pros**: deterministic key derivation from a single mnemonic, interoperable with Electrum and other BIP-39 compatible wallets
- **Cons**: requires securely backing up the mnemonic phrase
**Available options:**
- Generate a new 12-word mnemonic or import an existing one
- Optional BIP-39 passphrase
- Account index selection
- Configurable number of receiving addresses to derive
### In development
- **P2WSH (Pay-to-Witness-Script-Hash)**: SegWit version of P2SH, more efficient and secure.
