As one of the important milestones in the field of blockchain interoperability, the mainnet of Ika, the blockchain infrastructure provider of the Sui ecosystem, has officially been launched. This marks the birth of the Sui ecosystem’s first zero-trust multi-party computing (MPC) network that supports on-chain smart contracts to achieve native cross-chain asset control.

The Ika Protocol allows users and developers to securely and seamlessly manage native assets across multiple blockchain ecosystems, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and L1 and L Networks, without relying on cross-chain bridges, wrapped tokens, or trusted third parties. This breakthrough effectively addresses common risks associated with cross-chain solutions, such as inherent security vulnerabilities in bridge protocols or wrapped tokens, fundamentally revolutionizing blockchain interoperability.

At the core of Ika’s innovation lies its decentralized, programmable, and transferable signature mechanism, dWallets. This allows users to collaborate with the Ika network to sign transactions while executing operational logic governed by smart contracts. This allows developers and institutions to securely build and operate applications across various blockchains through native asset control.

Ika's core technology lies in its innovative 2PC-MPC cryptographic protocol. Previously, this solution was considered difficult to implement in a decentralized environment due to limitations in latency, scalability, and security. Fortunately, Ika has overcome these obstacles, enabling a network that combines sub-second latency, linear scalability, and decentralization. This network is supported by hundreds of operators worldwide, and every on-chain operation includes cryptographic protections that require explicit user participation, supporting a zero-trust security framework.

Furthermore, the Ika Network's native token, IKA, will play a key role in securing the network's infrastructure through a decentralized, permissionless proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. The IKA token serves as a core component for transaction fees, spam protection, trusted operator rewards, and network governance.

Currently, several outstanding blockchain projects in the Sui ecosystem have completed on-chain deployment on the Ika network, further demonstrating the versatility and robustness of the protocol:

• Native: Committed to enhancing Bitcoin liquidity through native lending and DeFi services.
• Human Tech: Provides a "wallet as protocol" solution to seamlessly manage cross-chain assets.
• Rhei Finance: Provides institutional-grade zero-trust multi-chain DeFi services.
• Aeon: Advancing decentralized custody solutions optimized for AI-driven financial management.
• Nativerse: Working to create stablecoins backed by the Bitcoin network without the need for synthetic or packaged intermediaries.
• Ekko: Combining AI chatbots with decentralized security through MPC technology.
• Legacy Link: Facilitating secure inheritance of digital assets through simplified estate management.
• Full Sail: Launched an advanced automated market maker (AMM) leveraging Ika interoperability.

Omer Sadika, co-founder of Ika, said: "Today is undoubtedly the beginning of a new era of blockchain interoperability. The launch of the Ika mainnet is not only a technical industry milestone, but also a new paradigm shift. We will bring native zero-trust interoperability to Sui, providing more possibilities for developers, institutions and individual users."

With the official launch of the Ika mainnet, blockchain projects, financial institutions, and developers can participate in the ecosystem by deploying multi-chain applications on the Sui Chain, participating in network operations, and interacting with the Ika network.
