By adding three paths to the [CIP-1852 | HD (Hierarchy for Deterministic) Wallets for Cardano](https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/blob/master/CIP-1852/README.md), we create an ecosystem standard for wallets to be able to derive DRep and constitutional committee keys. This enables DRep and constitutional committee credential restorability from a wallet seed phrase.
