# Generate VeChain wallet

<p style="display: none">/v3/vet/wallet</p>
<h4>5 credits per API call.</h4><br/><p>Tatum supports BIP44 HD wallets. It is very convenient and secure, since it can generate 2^31 addresses from 1 mnemonic phrase. Mnemonic phrase consists of 24 special words in defined order and can restore access to all generated addresses and private keys.<br/>Each address is identified by 3 main values:<ul><li>Private Key - your secret value, which should never be revealed</li><li>Public Key - public address to be published</li><li>Derivation index - index of generated address</li></ul></p><p>Tatum follows BIP44 specification and generates for VeChain wallet with derivation path m'/44'/818'/0'/0. More about BIP44 HD wallets can be found here - <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki">https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki</a>.
