9+On-chain Urbit assets can require main different keypairs for operation. To simplify this potentially complex process, we designed our own wallet specification. [This Urbit Proposal](https://github.com/urbit/fora-posts/blob/master/proposals/posts/~2018.11.8..19.31.59..ba77~.md) describes the spec in detail. There are no new cryptographic primitives: it's bascially a Type 2 HD wallet nested inside of a Type 1 HD wallet.
