Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Mnemonic Code for Generating Deterministic Keys |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | Encode entropy as a word list with a checksum, then stretch the words with a passphrase into a seed. The words are the backup. The passphrase is an extra secret, often empty. |
| Who may write | Marek Palatinus, Pavol Rusnak, Aaron Voisine and Sean Bowe |
| What is settled | The word list is an encoding, not an account. |
| Load-bearing assumption | The standard does not say which derivation path. That is BIP 44 and cousins. |
| What this library says afterwards | A reading of the public document. Not a copy of it, and not a claim about a later network that reused the name. |
| Rights | Official external source only |
