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.
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.
