Seed Phrase Generation: When you create a new wallet, it generates a seed phrase. This phrase is a series of randomly chosen words from a predefined list, in a specific order.
Hash Function: The seed phrase is then put through a cryptographic hash function, which is a special kind of function that takes an input and produces a fixed data output. This output is deterministic, meaning the same input will always produce the same output.
Private Key Generation: The output of the hash function is used to generate a .
Public Key Generation: The is then used to generate a corresponding through a cryptographic process.
Multiple Keys: This process can be repeated to generate multiple pairs of private and public keys from the same seed phrase.
