## Wallets
### Deterministic Wallet Formats
#### Type 1: Single Chain Wallets
{% autocrossref %}
Type 1 deterministic wallets are the simpler of the two, which can
create a single series of keys from a single seed. A primary weakness is
that if the seed is leaked, all funds are compromised, and wallet
sharing is extremely limited.
{% endautocrossref %}
#### Type 2: Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) Wallets
{% autocrossref %}

For an overview of HD wallets, please see the [developer guide
section][devguide wallets]. For details, please see BIP32.
