Abstract

This BIP defines the derivation scheme for HD wallets using the P2WPKH (BIP 173) serialization format for segregated witness transactions.

Motivation

With the usage of P2WPKH transactions it is necessary to have a common derivation scheme. It allows the user to use different HD wallets with the same masterseed and/or a single account seamlessly.

Thus the user needs to create dedicated segregated witness accounts, which ensures that only wallets compatible with this BIP will detect the accounts and handle them appropriately.

Considerations

We use the same rationale as described in Considerations section of BIP 49.

Specifications

This BIP defines the two needed steps to derive multiple deterministic addresses based on a BIP 32 root account.

Public key derivation

To derive a public key from the root account, this BIP uses the same account-structure as defined in BIP 44 and BIP 49, but only uses a different purpose value to indicate the different transaction serialization method. 

m / purpose' / coin_type' / account' / change / address_index

For the purpose-path level it uses 84'. The rest of the levels are used as defined in BIP44 or BIP49.

Address derivation

To derive the P2WPKH address from the above calculated public key, we use the encapsulation defined in BIP 141: 

    witness:      <signature> <pubkey>
    scriptSig:    (empty)
    scriptPubKey: 0 <20-byte-key-hash>
                  (0x0014{20-byte-key-hash})

Extended Key Version

When serializing extended keys, this scheme uses alternate version bytes. Extended public keys use 0x04b24746 to produce a "zpub" prefix, and private keys use 0x04b2430c to produce a "zprv" prefix. Testnet uses 0x045f1cf6 "vpub" and 0x045f18bc "vprv."

Additional registered version bytes are listed in SLIP-0132.

Backwards Compatibility

This BIP is not backwards compatible by design as described under considerations. An incompatible wallet will not discover accounts at all and the user will notice that something is wrong.
