Hermes: infer derivation path from `address_type` #1796

Open adizere opened 2 years ago

adizere commented 2 years ago

Would it make sense to have hermes use the right derivation path (by default) based on the chain config address_type = { derivation = 'evmos', ...? For eg. m/44'/118'/0'/0/0 for cosmos and m/44'/60'/0'/0/0 for evmos?

For instance, Hermes could automatically infer that it should use derivation path m/44'/118'/0'/0/0 for cosmos and m/44'/60'/0'/0/0 for Ethermint keys.

Copying @Farhad-Shabani as potentially interesting.
