[PRESS RELEASE – Zug, Switzerland, October 22nd, 2025]
Ika, the fastest parallel MPC network, today announced a partnership with human.tech to introduce Wallet-as-a-Protocol (WaaP), a new category of decentralized wallet infrastructure secured by Ika’s breakthrough 2PC-MPC cryptography.
No vendor lock-ins. No more renting your wallet. Full interoperability. This marks the first time in crypto that wallet logic, key management, and access control are decentralized across a zero-trust network, providing wallet functionality through a decentralized Sui protocol rather than a centralized service.

From Wallet-as-a-Service to Wallet-as-a-Protocol

So far, Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) solutions have given applications full control over their users’ wallets, introducing custodial risks and security issues, while preventing wallets from being utilized across multiple apps.
With WaaP, human.tech and Ika entirely replace this model. A user’s key share stays local, while Ika’s decentralized network manages the co-signing share under zero-trust conditions. No single entity – including human.tech – can access or reconstruct the complete private key.
This transforms Human Wallet from merely a service provider to open, decentralized wallet infrastructure, allowing universal accounts that work seamlessly across dApps, devices, and chains – secured cryptographically.

“2PC-MPC changes what a wallet can be,” said David Lachmish, Co-Founder of Ika. “It removes unilateral control, scales to real-world throughput, and for the first time, makes decentralized, flexible and secure wallets practical at the infrastructure level.”

The Technology Behind WaaP

Ika’s 2PC-MPC (Two-Party Computation Multi-Party Computation) protocol divides private keys into two independent cryptographic shares:

• User Share: held and authorized locally by the user
• Network Share: run by Ika’s decentralized 2PC-MPC network
  Both shares are needed for any signature, and the full key is never reconstructed, creating a zero-trust signing environment resistant to both local compromise and network-level collusion, while enabling sub-second signing latency at scale.
  In adopting Ika for its signing layer, human.tech positions itself as the first wallet provider to decentralize programmable security and access control, utilizing a global, zero-trust MPC network.

Why It Matters

This partnership sets a new standard for wallet architecture:

• Decentralized Security: Eliminates single points of failure.
• Censorship Resistance: No one can block or falsify user intent.
• Zero-Trust UX: Human-readable intent validation with secure policy enforcement at the signing layer.
• Protocol-Level Composability: One universal wallet across applications without iframe custody or per-wallet fees.

A New Foundation for Builders

WaaP is universal, supporting Bitcoin, Solana and is fully EIP-1193 compliant, allowing developers to integrate Human Wallet using the same provider interface that is common across Ethereum and other EVM-compatible wallets. Integration can be completed in minutes, complete with copy-paste quick start examples and a developer portal.
Developers benefit from seamless onboarding, programmable policies, gas sponsorship, and multi-factor authentication – all enforced cryptographically at the wallet layer.

A New Era for Secure UX

The WaaP model combines user sovereignty and developer simplicity, ensuring real-world-grade security and scalability. Alongside Ika’s MPC network on Sui, WaaP facilitates cross-chain coordination, making decentralized security and interoperability indistinguishable.

“Wallet-as-a-Protocol is what Wallet-as-a-Service aspired to be,” said Nanak Nihal Singh Khalsa, Co-Founder of Human Tech. “It gives users ownership, developers composability, and the ecosystem a path to remove trusted intermediaries – all made possible by 2PC-MPC.”
