Mina uses the 5 level [BIP32](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawiki) path format specified in [BIP44](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki)

```
m / purpose' / coin_type' / account' / change / address_index
```

Keypairs are derived by varying only the ``account`` while keeping the ``change`` and ``address_index`` zero.

# BIP32 path format

```
m / 44' / 12586' / account' / 0 / 0
```

# Examples

| account | path                    |
