It takes a seed (or an existing extended key) and derives child keys at any depth along a path, supporting both hardened and unhardened derivation steps. The package handles four curves: secp256k1 (Bitcoin), NIST P-256, ed25519, and curve25519.\n\nThe library provides methods to initialize from a raw seed, an extended private key (xpriv), or an extended public key (xpub), then derive keys at any path as either raw bytes, extended keys, or serialized base58-encoded strings. It depends only on cryptography for ed25519 and curve25519 operations, having dropped external ecdsa and base58 dependencies in version 1.1.0 by inlining those implementations. It supports Python 3.8 through 3.14.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need SLIP-0010 key derivation. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and a permissive dual license. It is a reference implementation suitable for projects requiring standards-compliant hierarchical key derivation across Bitcoin and other curves. Verify whether it meets your production-readiness requirements before use in live cryptocurrency systems."},"id":"slip10","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/slip10","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/slip10.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/slip10/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-02-02","license_spdx":"BSD-3-Clause AND MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"slip10","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A reference implementation of the SLIP-0010 specification, which generalizes the BIP-0032 derivation scheme for private and public key pairs in hierarchical deterministic wallets for the curves secp256k1, NIST P-256, ed25519 and curve25519."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":152441,"position":10900,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.0"}
