ika-network

Build with Ika Network's dWallet primitive for programmable multi-chain signing. Use when: creating dWallets, signing transactions on any blockchain (BTC, ETH, SOL) from Sui smart contracts, integrating dWallets into Move contracts, understanding 2PC-MPC cryptography, debugging Ika SDK errors, building cross-chain applications, chain abstraction, programmable custody, multi-chain treasury, or any task involving the @ika.xyz/sdk TypeScript package or Ika Move modules. Also use for questions about dWallet Network (Ika's former name), zero-trust signing, non-collusive MPC, or comparing Ika to bridges/MPC networks like Lit Protocol, Wormhole, LayerZero, Axelar. Also covers agentic patterns: AI agents with policy-controlled dWallets, MCP tool servers for cross-chain signing, autonomous trading bots, and multi-chain treasury management.

What Ika Is

Ika is a parallel MPC signing network built on Sui. It creates dWallets: programmable,
transferable signing keys that work on any blockchain. A dWallet is controlled by a Sui smart
contract (via DWalletCap) and requires BOTH the user AND the Ika validator network to produce
a signature. Neither can sign alone (non-collusive 2PC-MPC). This means Sui contracts can
natively control Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana assets without bridges or wrapping.

Quick Start

import { IkaClient, getNetworkConfig } from '@ika.xyz/sdk';
import { SuiClient } from '@mysten/sui/client';

// IMPORTANT: Use publicnode RPC, NOT the default Sui RPC (rate-limited)
const suiClient = new SuiClient({ url: 'https://sui-testnet-rpc.publicnode.com' });
const ikaClient = new IkaClient({
  suiClient,
  config: getNetworkConfig('testnet'),
  network: 'testnet',
  cache: true,
});
await ikaClient.initialize();

Prerequisites

  • Rust (curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh)
  • Sui CLI (brew install sui)
  • pnpm (npm install -g pnpm)
  • wasm-pack (curl https://drager.github.io/wasm-pack/installer/init.sh -sSf | sh)
  • wasm-bindgen-cli (cargo install wasm-bindgen-cli --version 0.2.100)

Install SDK: pnpm add @ika.xyz/sdk

Tips & Practical Notes

  1. Use https://sui-testnet-rpc.publicnode.com for testnet, NOT getFullnodeUrl('testnet'). The default Sui RPC rate-limits the SDK's multi-call patterns.
  2. IKA tokens required: Get them at https://faucet.ika.xyz/ by swapping SUI for IKA.
  3. Create encryption keys: UserShareEncryptionKeys.fromRootSeedKey(randomBytes(32), Curve.SECP256K1) — the factory method for generating key pairs.
  4. Deprecated API warning: Do NOT use requestDWalletDKGFirstRound, requestDWalletDKGFirstRoundAsync, or requestDWalletDKGSecondRound. Use requestDWalletDKG (v2 API).
  5. Mainnet RPC: https://ikafn-on-sui-2-mainnet.ika-network.net/

Status Notes

  • EdDSA: Added Dec 2025, available for Solana/Cardano/Near/Stellar signing
  • Operators docs: Coming soon on official docs
  • Code Examples section: Coming soon on official docs
  • Move integration: See move-integration.md for extended examples beyond the official guides

Key Concepts (30-second version)

  • dWallet = Sui object that can sign on any chain. Created via DKG (Distributed Key Generation).
  • DWalletCap = The capability object that controls a dWallet. Whoever holds it controls signing policy. Losing it = frozen wallet.
  • 2PC-MPC = Two-Party Computation with Multi-Party Computation. User + network = signature. Neither alone can sign. Non-collusive by construction.
  • Zero-Trust = Even if 100% of validators are compromised, they cannot sign without the user's participation.
  • Presigning = Pre-compute partial signatures for faster signing later.
