What is BIP44

BIP44 is a bitcoin improvement proposal that defines a standard method for deriving many keys for different uses from a single mnemonic seed in an organized way. This method of key derivation uses hierarchical deterministic(HD) keys to derive several public/private key pairs from a single master key pair allowing a user to avoid storing and generating new keys for each use. Instead, the user simply needs to store the master key from which all the other keys can be derived.
