HD wallet

An HD wallet, or hierarchical deterministic wallet, derives a structured family of keys and addresses from root seed material instead of requiring an unrelated backup for every new key.

Published and reviewed: 2 October 2026.

Definition: An HD wallet, or hierarchical deterministic wallet, derives a structured family of keys and addresses from root seed material instead of requiring an unrelated backup for every new key.

The model makes backup and account generation more manageable, but exact restoration still depends on derivation paths, account indexes and address conventions.

How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

Terenval's create/import model follows the practical HD-wallet idea that one recovery basis can recreate supported wallet accounts, subject to compatibility rules.

Important: Back up the recovery material, not just screenshots of current receiving addresses.
