Coudlnt find it in the app.

In general, it is the projects that contribute to this tool, so the short answer is that "because the devs of those projects did not send a PR".

I can talk about Polkadot though: They do not use BIP39 in most wallets. subkey uses a different derivation scheme and the cipher is either Ed25519 or Sr25519 in most chains in the Dotsama ecosystem, the later supporting a Schnorr signature scheme.

Ahhh.. Thanks very much for the clarification! Curious what does "PR" stand for?

Pull request. These suggestions for code changes that anyone can contribute to the projects: https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39/pulls

Hey guys, i cant make a pull request. I need to generate my Solana key. i dont see Solana to choose from. Any ideas?

wigy-opensource-developer commented 1 year ago

Use a Solana compatible wallet, I guess.

@wigy-opensource-developer I got some Solana in my Ledger Nano. but when i try to swap it for another currency i want to access only my solana wallet in an app like "phantom wallet".

Because of some design decisions in the network, most Solana applications use a custodial wallet on their own servers. They call it some fancy name, but there is a finite chance you do not even have the private key for what you want to do on chain, and your own wallet is only used as a login mechanism for the application backend. Anyways, you have higher chance of getting an answer in the Solana community, or the community of the application you are using Solana with.
