1 credit per API call.


Tatum supports BIP44 HD wallets. Because they can generate 2^31 addresses from 1 mnemonic phrase, they are very convenient and secure. A mnemonic phrase consists of 24 special words in a defined order and can restore access to all generated addresses and private keys.
Each address is identified by 3 main values:

  • Private Key - your secret value which should never be revealed
  • Public Key - a public address to be published
  • Derivation index - an index of generated address

Tatum follows the BIP44 specification and generates for Ethereum wallets with the derivation path m/44'/60'/0'/0. More about BIP44 HD wallets can be found here - https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki. Generates a BIP44 compatible Ethereum wallet.
