This change aligns the behavior of `dashd` and `dash-qt` with the previously optional `-usehd=1` flag, making HD wallets the standard for all users. +Dash Core still can be enforced by creating non-HD wallet by run with `-usehd=0` flag but this feature will be removed in next releases. + +While HD wallets are now enabled by default to improve user experience, Dash Core still allows for the creation of non-HD wallets by using the `-usehd=0` flag. However, users should be aware that this option is intended for legacy support and will be removed in future releases. Importantly, even with an HD wallet, users can still import non-HD private keys, ensuring flexibility in managing their funds.
