===== v1 (Plain)
[TIP]
====
Since plaintext/unencrypted keys do not have a cipher or KDF (as there's no encryption key or algorithm used), they use the string "none" to identify these (and entirely leave out the KDF options).

2.0.0 KDF name string (ASCII bytes)
3.0 uint32 allocator for KDF options (3.0.0 to 3.0.1) (4 bytes) (ALWAYS 0 for unencrypted keys, so no following substructure)

4.0.1.4.0 Private key #n (bytes)
4.0.1.5 uint32 allocator for 4.0.1.5.0 (4 bytes)
4.0.1.5.0 comment for key #n string (ASCII bytes)
4.0.1.6 sequential padding
----
[NOTE]
====
*Chunk 3.0.0 to 3.0.1:* These blocks are not present in unencrypted keys (see the <<struct_ed25519_crypt, encrypted key structure>> for what these look like). *3.0* reflects this, as it's always going to be `00000000` (0).
*Chunk 4.0:* This is technically currently unused; upstream hardcodes to 1 (left zero-padded `0x01`).
*Chunk 4.0.1.4.0:* This is a 64-byte block for ED25519, but the second half of the private key (`[32:]`) is always the same as the public key.
*Chunk 4.0.1.6:* The padding used aligns the private key (*4.0.1.0* to *4.0.1.5.0*) to the cipher blocksize. For plaintext keys, a blocksize of 8 is used.
