 # Sometimes you need an 'xpub' when you've been given a 'zpub'. i.e. some multisig wallet generators.

 # Converting a zpub to an xpub involves changing the prefix to match the Bitcoin mainnet extended
 # public key format. Both are BIP32 extended public keys, but zpub is typically used for SegWit (BIP84),
 # while xpub is for legacy addresses (BIP44). The conversion requires adjusting the version bytes.
