Define custom derivation paths in Sync wallet #537

Open bzottola-ledger opened 1 year ago

bzottola-ledger commented 1 year ago

Hello! I am a customer support agent here at Ledger.

We often have customers that have sent their VET to their address derived from Ledger Live. This address follows the normal Ethereum address derivation path (m/44'/60'/0').

When customers make this mistake, they are unable to recover their VET without exposing their Ledger generated seed phrase.

I would like to make the suggestion that you give some advanced option to define a derivation path when importing your Ledger device into Sync. This would solve this sort of issue for people who rek themselves by sending their VET on the VeChain network to an address with the wrong derivation path (60 for coin type instead of 818 which is the default VeChain derivation path).

I hope this sort of thing can be implemented! It's nice to have the option for such a thing.

Thank you.
