Ika, the world’s fastest parallel MPC network, formerly known as
dWallet Network, today announced their launch on Sui, the
innovative Layer 1 blockchain and smart contract
platform.
An alternative option to bridging, Ika offers secure
interoperability across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polygon,
Avalanche, TON and more, empowering Move smart contract developers
and providing enhanced foundational infrastructure that enables
institutional players to fully leverage Sui’s industry-leading
decentralized technology. Ika utilizes the novel 2PC-MPC
cryptographic scheme and Sui’s Mysticeti consensus to address
critical limitations in existing MPC networks, delivering
unprecedented performance in throughput, with minimal latency,
extreme scalability and zero-trust security.
Ika’s ultra-fast MPC network powers a wide range of applications
on the Sui blockchain, including:
- Programmable Bitcoin: Ika unlocks new
possibilities for native BTC on Sui, with programmable and secure
DeFi and custody.
- DeFi Interoperability: Ika’s sub-second speed
and scalability enable instant and secure operations across all
web3 ecosystems, bringing liquidity from chains like Bitcoin and
Ethereum to Sui.
- Decentralized Custody: Ika offers secure,
decentralized custody solutions on the Sui blockchain for digital
assets, delivering unmatched security for institutional and
individual users.
- Chain Abstraction: Ika allows builders on Sui
to abstract the complexity of multiple chains for their users,
alongside other Sui features such as zkLogin, delivering a perfect
user experience.
- AI Agent Guardrails: Ika enhances AI
applications on Sui, by providing secure MPC guardrails, ensuring
AI agents don’t have full unchecked power, safeguarding users’
assets.
“Sui is the fastest execution venue for cross-chain programmable
BTC, DeFi, decentralized custody, Chain Abstraction, and AI agent
guardrails,” said Omer Sadika, Co-Founder of Ika. “We chose
Sui because Ika is deeply aligned with Sui’s core values of
performance, speed, and decentralization.”
The IKA token will soon launch natively on the Sui blockchain,
unlocking new functionality and utility in decentralized security.
As the native token of the Ika MPC network, IKA will play a pivotal
role in powering its ultra-fast, scalable infrastructure, serving
as the means to pay for MPC signing services, enabling seamless
transactions across the Web3 space. By leveraging Sui’s unmatched
speed and performance, Ika enhances the overall security and
scalability of the ecosystem, adding the most promising MPC
technology in blockchain to the fastest-growing L1 in Web3.
“With Ika, more than $2 trillion in digital assets can now be
programmed via the Sui network,” said Jameel Khalfan, Head of
Ecosystem Development at Sui Foundation. “Ika’s wide variety of use
cases represents incredible potential for the Sui
ecosystem.”
Ika’s alpha testnet is available on Sui today, with mainnet
launch slated for December.
