I have a seed phrase for a cryptocurrency wallet, and I want to know if it's possible to convert this seed phrase into a private key. Can someone help me understand how to do this, or if it's even possible?

This is achieved through a hierarchical deterministic (HD) key generation algorithm, like BIP31.

This process utilizes a key derivation function, which can be PBKDF2 or BIP31.

Once the seed is obtained, it serves as the foundation for generating further keys.
