Encompass is a multi-coin lite wallet based on Electrum. It's fully
BIP-0044 compatible. This means that one master key is used to derive keys for all coins. With Encompass, one mnemonic seed is used to generate a master key. As a result, backing up that mnemonic means that you've backed up all the keys for all the coins that Encompass supports now, and will ever support in the future.
ChainkeyEncompass uses
chainkey modules to support coins, so new coins can be added with relative ease. Chainkey modules are basically python files that contain all the information needed about a coin. Since it's based on Electrum, existing Electrum-style servers for a coin can be used to serve Encompass wallets. For more info on Chainkey modules, see the
README.
