Blockchain infrastructure pioneer Ika officially announces mainnet launch, marking a new stage for cross-chain interoperability technology. As the first zero-trust multi-party computation (MPC) network to achieve native smart contract cross-chain asset control, Ika will transform the interaction between the Sui ecosystem and mainstream public chains like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Technical Breakthrough: Native Cross-Chain without Bridging or Wrapping
Ika protocol enables Sui smart contracts to directly and securely manage multi-chain native assets, without relying on cross-chain bridges, wrapped tokens, or third-party custody. This innovation resolves inherent risks in current cross-chain solutions:
- Eliminate Bridge Vulnerabilities: Avoid single point of failure risks during asset cross-chain transfers
- Reject Token Wrapping: Maintain asset nativeness and eliminate synthetic token credit risks
- Achieve Zero-Trust Interaction: Guaranteed through cryptography rather than third-party trust mechanisms
Core Innovation: dWallets Redefining Asset Control
Ika introduces revolutionary dWallets (decentralized programmable signature mechanism), with core features including:
- Multi-Party Collaborative Signing: Users and Ika network jointly control transaction permissions
- Smart Contract Programmability: Customize cross-chain logic (such as multi-signature policies, conditional triggers)
- Fully Portable Assets: Support free custody transfer within the Sui ecosystem
Performance Benchmark: Sub-Second Latency 2PC-MPC Protocol
Ika uses an innovative 2PC-MPC cryptographic solution, breaking through three traditional MPC network bottlenecks:
- Sub-Second Latency: Signature speed reduced from traditional 30 seconds to within 1 second
- Linear Scalability: Support parallel operation of hundreds of global nodes
- Military-Grade Security: Explicit user authorization required for each operation, achieving true zero-trust
Ecosystem Applications: First Integration by Sui Top Projects
Mainnet launch immediately adopted by multiple leading Sui ecosystem projects, demonstrating technological universality:
- Native: Build lending and DeFi services based on native BTC
- Human Tech: Launch "protocol as wallet" cross-chain asset management solution
- Rhei Finance: Provide institutional-level zero-trust multi-chain DeFi protocol
- Ekko: Embed decentralized security layer for AI chatbots through MPC technology
IKA Token: Lifeline of Decentralized Network
IKA as the network's native token, serves four key functions:
- Pay MPC signature service fees
- Prevent spam transaction attacks
- Incentivize reliable node operators
- Participate in network governance voting
"Today is not just a technological milestone, but a fundamental transformation of blockchain interoperability paradigm," emphasized Ika co-founder Omer Sadika, "We are natively introducing zero-trust interoperability to the Sui ecosystem, opening unlimited possibilities for developers and institutions."
Participation Methods
Developers, institutions, and users can join the Ika ecosystem through three paths:
- Deploy multi-chain applications on Sui
- Participate as network node operators
- Manage cross-chain assets through dWallets
About Ika
Ika is a global leading parallel MPC network, providing sub-second latency, excellent scalability, and a zero-trust security framework. As the preferred solution for cross-chain interoperability, decentralized custody, and chain abstraction, Ika is reshaping the future of digital asset security and multi-chain DeFi.
