Zug, Switzerland, April 28th, 2025/Chainwire/--Ika, the world's fastest parallel MPC network, set to launch on the Sui blockchain, reveals a strategic investment from Sui Foundation after recently concluding a record-setting 1.4M SUI NFT art campaign on Sui. Sui Sui Ika is the first sub-second MPC network, enabling zero trust interoperability between blockchains at unprecedented scale, across hundreds of signer nodes with ironclad security. Ika aligns with Sui's core values of performance, speed, and decentralization. With its upcoming launch on the Sui blockchain, Ika brings its unrivaled MPC technology to empower Sui Move smart contract developers with secure interoperability across all of Web3. This cements Sui's position as the premier solution for cross-chain DeFi, decentralized custody, Chain Abstraction, AI agent guardrails, native Bitcoin programmability, and more, utilizing the first truly scalable, secure MPC signing solution. Ika: Setting New Benchmarks in MPC Technology Ika leverages the novel 2PC-MPC cryptographic scheme and Sui's Mysticeti consensus protocol to address critical limitations in existing MPC networks, delivering unprecedented performance: 2PC-MPC cryptographic scheme 2PC-MPC cryptographic scheme Mysticeti consensus protocol Mysticeti consensus protocol Record-Breaking Throughput: Ika can scale to process transactions up to 10,000 times more than current MPC networks, enabling unprecedented volume.
Minimal Latency: While conventional networks can lag 30 seconds or even more, Ika can generate a signature at sub-second speed, enabling real-time applications across chains.
Extreme Scalability: Ika transcends the typical 4-8 node limit, with 2PC-MPC that can scale to hundreds and potentially even thousands of signers, bolstering decentralization without compromising performance.
Zero-Trust Security: Ika's architecture ensures user assets remain secure even in worst-case scenarios, setting a new standard in decentralized security.
