Description

From discussion in https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/84, the general agreement seems to be that the HD derivation path used by ethereum should be m/44'/60'/0'/0/n`

Research direction

Start by locating where the wallet's default HD derivation path is defined, then read the linked EIP-84 discussion for the expected convention. Done means the default path uses m/44'/60'/0'/0/n and existing derivation behavior remains covered by the project's tests.
