41. Wallet Standards

Kortana's CLI and native tooling fully support standard derivation paths, ensuring compatibility with hardware wallets and institutional custodians.

  • BIP-39: Mnemonic phrase generation for deterministic key recovery.
  • BIP-32 & BIP-44: Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) derivation. EVM (0x...) addresses use the standard m/44'/60'/0'/0/0 path, ensuring seamless integration with existing tools like MetaMask.
  • Keystore V3: The standard encrypted JSON format for securely storing private keys on disk, utilizing scrypt for key derivation and AES-128-CTR for payload encryption.

Part XI — Security

Kortana is engineered from the ground up with a strict "Security over Speed" mandate. Performance optimizations that compromise determinism or expose the node to Byzantine faults are categorically rejected. This section details the explicit threat model, secure coding requirements, and rigorous testing framework used to secure the network.
