HD Wallet

Hierarchical Deterministic Wallet — a wallet whose private keys are all derived from a single master seed via BIP-32. Nearly every modern non-custodial wallet (hardware and software) is an HD wallet. The practical consequence: one seed phrase backs up every address and every chain the wallet supports.
