No more renting your wallet. Full interoperability.\u00a0This marks the first time in crypto that wallet logic, key management, and access control are decentralized across a zero-trust network, providing the wallet functionality via a decentralized Sui protocol rather than a centralized service.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From Wallet-as-a-Service to Wallet-as-a-Protocol<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So far, Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) solutions have given apps full control over their user\u2019s wallets. This has introduced custodial risks, security issues, and prevented wallets from being used on more than one app.<\/p>\n<p>With WaaP, human.tech and Ika replace that model entirely. A user\u2019s key share remains local, while Ika\u2019s decentralized network operates the co-signing share under zero-trust conditions. No single entity \u2013 including human.tech \u2013 can access or reconstruct the full private key.<\/p>\n<p>This transforms Human Wallet from a service provider into open, decentralized wallet infrastructure, enabling universal accounts that work seamlessly across dApps, devices, and chains \u2013 secured cryptographically.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201c2PC-MPC changes what a wallet can be,\u201d said David Lachmish, Co-Founder of Ika. \u201cIt removes unilateral control, scales to real-world throughput, and for the first time, makes decentralized, flexible and secure wallets practical at the infrastructure level.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>The Technology Behind WaaP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ika\u2019s 2PC-MPC (Two-Party Computation Multi-Party Computation) protocol splits private keys into two independent cryptographic shares:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>User share: held and authorized locally by the user<\/li>\n<li>Network share: operated by Ika\u2019s decentralized 2PC-MPC network<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both shares are required for any signature, and the full key is never reconstructed. This creates a zero-trust signing environment, resistant to both local compromise and network-level collusion, while delivering sub-second signing latency at scale.<\/p>\n<p>In migrating its signing layer to Ika, human.tech becomes the first wallet provider to decentralize programmable security and access control, leveraging a global, zero-trust MPC network.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.waap.xyz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Frame_1430105795_1761046936U0iXDBpGxD.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why It Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This partnership establishes a new standard for wallet architecture:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Decentralized Security: Removes single points of failure \u2013 no enclave, no service custody.<\/li>\n<li>Censorship Resistance: No single entity can block or forge user intent.<\/li>\n<li>Zero-Trust UX: Human-readable intent validation with secure policy enforcement at the signing layer.<\/li>\n<li>Protocol-Level Composability: One universal wallet across applications, without iframe custody or per-wallet fees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>A New Foundation for Builders<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WaaP is universal and generic, can support Bitcoin, Solana and is also fully EIP-1193 compliant, allowing developers to integrate Human Wallet using the same provider interface common across Ethereum and other EVM-compatible wallets. The integration takes minutes, with copy-paste quick start examples and a <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.waap.xyz\/docs\/quick-start\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">developer portal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Developers gain seamless onboarding, programmable policies, gas sponsorship, and MFA \u2013 all enforced cryptographically at the wallet layer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A New Era for Secure UX<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The WaaP model unites user sovereignty and developer simplicity, enabling real-world-grade security and scalability. Combined with Ika\u2019s MPC network on Sui, WaaP extends to cross-chain coordination, making decentralized security and interoperability one and the same.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWallet-as-a-Protocol is what Wallet-as-a-Service wanted to be,\u201d said Nanak Nihal Singh Khalsa, Co-Founder of Human Tech. \u201cIt gives users ownership, developers composability, and the ecosystem a path to eliminate trusted intermediaries \u2013 all made possible by 2PC-MPC.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>About Ika<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ika is the fastest parallel MPC network, offering sub-second latency, unprecedented scale and decentralization, and zero-trust security.
