Hierarchical Deterministic Wallet

Python-based library for the implementation of a hierarchical deterministic wallet generator for more than 140+ multiple cryptocurrencies. It allows the handling of multiple coins, multiple accounts, external and internal chains per account and millions of addresses per chain.

For more info see the BIP specs.
