164−The Urbit Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) Wallet is a custom Ethereum wallet based on BIP39 and BIP44 – the same underlying technology used by wallet providers like Ledger, Trezor, Metamask, and MyEtherWallet. You can think of the Urbit HD wallet as a wallet of wallets, which lets you keep a single passphrase for all of your Azimuth keys. Azimuth uses multiple keys with different capabilities – a bit like permissions – so that you can keep the more valuable keys in cold storage while keeping less valuable keys, used in day-to-day operation, more easily accessible. If you're only operating a planet, you shouldn't have to worry this: you can simply think of your "master ticket" as the password to your Azimuth point. If you're operating a star or galaxy, the Urbit HD Wallet allows you to implement a multi-tier key custody scheme.

377+## Do I need to sign a contract? {#grants-15}
379+After you are approved to work on a bounty or a proposal, you will be sent a contract that you'll need to sign. You don't need to sign a contract to receive a gift, though.
381+Here are a few important points from the bounty and proposal contracts:
383+- **Intellectual property:** You agree to commit all intellectual property you create in connection with the relevant bounty or proposal. You agree that you won’t incorporate any IP that is licensed in a conflicting way.
385+- **No conflicts:** You agree that you are not subject to any restrictions that would interfere with your ability to complete the bounty or proposal.
387+- **No employment relationship:** You agree that being approved for the grant or bounty does not imply any employment relationship with Tlon.
389+- **Termination:** Either party (you or Tlon) can terminate the agreement on seven days' written notice. If that happens, you may be compensated *pro rata* for the amount of work you've completed, but this compensation is at the sole discretion of Tlon.
391+- **Governing law:** The agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California.
393+Note that these paraphrased points are just for summarization purposes. The language in contract that you receive and sign is the only source of authority for the grant agreement.
