@exodus/key-ids
This package holds key identifiers for Exodus' own BIP43 purpose that cater for different use cases to deterministically derive key pairs from the seed.
Exodus Purpose Field
Exodus has its own bip43 purpose field for internal use.
This module exports this purpose value as the number 6649967, which is equivalent to the UTF-8 encoded text exo.
Documented Usage Paths
The bip32 paths currently used are listed here along with their descriptions. ' denotes hardened derivation. Note that hardened derivation is always used for the Exodus Purpose.
| Path | Usage |
|---|---|
m/EXO'/1'/0 | Wallet info file deterministic encryption key |
m/EXO'/1'/1 | Public key is used for backing up the info file |
m/EXO'/2'/0' | Keypair used for e2e libsodium ed25519 keys |
m/EXO'/2'/2' | Deprecate, do not re-use this path for anything |
m/EXO'/2'/3' | Keypair used to binauth with telemetry server |
m/EXO'/3'/0' | Keys used to sign mesages for the Wallet of Satoshi APIs |
m/EXO'/4'/1' | Used for signing & encrypting messages w.r.t username client |
m/EXO'/5'/n' | The last number n is reserved for seedless project, 0 is used for seedless backup id |
m/EXO'/6'/0' | Key used to derive auth key for fiat server |
m/EXO'/7'/0' | Deprecated, do not re-use this path for anything |
m/EXO'/8'/0' | Keypair used to binauth with pay server |
Jan 15 2019 - Konnor Klashinsky:
- Moved the
EXODUS_PURPOSEconstant from#/exodus-purposeto#/bip43-purposeso the module can be used for other BIP43 purpose constants like SegWit.
Feb 24 2019 - Konnor Klashinsky:
- Added the
SEGWIT_NESTED_PURPOSEconstants for P2WPKH-nested-in-P2SH, used for hardware wallets
Mar 1 2019 - Konnor Klashinsky
- Added the
HD_WALLET_PURPOSEconstants for BIP44 HD wallets.
July 3 2019 - Max Ogden
- Added 1 path used for libsodium ed25519 derivation using SLIP-0010 in the e2e syncing implementation.
July 4 2019 - Konnor Klashinsky:

Jul 12 2021 - Vlad Stan
- Added
m/EXO'/3'/0'path used to derive the keys used to sign messages for the Wallet of Satoshi REST APIs. - Each account will derive a path according to its index:
m/EXO'/3'/0'/0',m/EXO'/3'/0'/1', etc

m/EXO'/8'/0'path as keypair for pay binauth
May 22, 2026 - Mark Vayngrib
- Removed
EXTRA_SEEDS_ENCRYPTION(m/EXO'/7'/0') along with multi-seed support. The path is marked deprecated to prevent re-use.
