| 13 | A basic client can simply use an `address_index` of `0` to derive a single key. For more advanced use-cases you can increment `address_index`, allowing generation of practically infinite keys from the 5-level path. | 13 | A basic client can simply use an `account` of `0` to derive a single key. For more advanced use-cases you can increment `account`, allowing generation of practically infinite keys from the 5-level path with hardened derivation. |
