Blockchain infrastructure project Ika announces the official launch of its mainnet, opening up a new landscape for cross-chain interoperability. This release also brings the industry's first zero-trust multi-party computation (MPC) network, allowing developers to directly control multi-chain assets through native smart contracts on the Sui blockchain.
Unlike traditional cross-chain bridges, wrapped tokens, and custodial intermediaries, Ika's protocol does not rely on any third party. It enables smart contracts on Sui to directly and securely manage native assets from Bitcoin, Ethereum, and mainstream L1 and L2 chains, significantly reducing trust costs and technical risks in cross-chain operations.
At the core of Ika is a signature system called dWallet - decentralized, programmable, and transferable. Through it, users and the Ika network can jointly participate in transaction signatures, executing preset security logic in smart contracts. This allows developers and institutions to deploy truly cross-chain applications without sacrificing control.
Supporting Ika's operation is its self-developed cryptographic protocol 2PC-MPC, which was previously considered difficult to apply in on-chain environments. However, Ika has successfully achieved sub-second latency, linear scalability, and true decentralization, with hundreds of global nodes participating in verification. Each operation requires user participation, constructing a zero-trust security network.
The network's native token IKA serves the infrastructure's operation and incentive mechanism: it is both a core tool for transaction fees and anti-spam measures, and is used to incentivize node operators and participate in governance.
After the Ika mainnet launch, multiple projects on Sui have already begun integrating, demonstrating the protocol's diversity and scalability:
·Native: Releasing Bitcoin liquidity in a native way, serving DeFi lending
·Human Tech: Building cross-chain "wallet as protocol" infrastructure
·Rhei Finance: Providing zero-trust multi-chain financial services for institutions
·Aeon: Constructing an AI-driven decentralized custody solution
·Nativerse: Issuing a stablecoin truly backed by Bitcoin, without wrapping
·Ekko: Embedding AI chatbots into the MPC architecture to enhance secure interactions
·Legacy Link: Providing on-chain compliance tools for crypto estate management
·Full Sail: Developing efficient AMM, achieving cross-chain matching through Ika
"Today is not just a technical milestone for Ika, but a turning point for the entire industry towards truly native cross-chain interoperability," said Ika co-founder Omer Sadika. "Achieving zero-trust interconnection on Sui is a new door we've opened for developers, institutions, and ordinary users."
Ika is now fully open. Developers, financial institutions, and ecosystem participants can deploy multi-chain applications on Sui, join network validation, or use protocol capabilities to build next-generation crypto products.
