Ika, the fastest parallel MPC network, has partnered 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, the infrastructure features no vendor lock-ins, no renting of wallet, and full interoperability.
WaaP is the first infrastructure in crypto where wallet logic, key management, and access control are decentralized across a zero-trust network, providing wallet functionality via a decentralized Sui protocol rather than a centralized service.
Until now, Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS), a popular infrastructure, gave apps too much control over users’ funds, making it prone to security issues and restricted usage to one app.
Waap replaces that with a decentralized, zero-trust system where a user’s key share remains local, while Ika’s decentralized network operates the co-signing share. With the system’s high security, not even human.tech can access or reconstruct the full private key.
This enables Human Wallet to transition from a service provider to an open, decentralized wallet infrastructure, allowing universal accounts to work seamlessly across dApps, devices, and chains through secured cryptography.
David Lachmish, Co-Founder of Ika, said:
“2PC-MPC changes what a wallet can be. 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.”
How WaaP works
The WaaP protocol uses a 2PC-MPC (Two-Party Computation Multi-Party Computation) protocol that splits private keys into two independent cryptographic shares: the user share, held and authorized by the user, and the network share, operated by Ika’s decentralized 2PC-MPC network.
Before accessing the wallet, both shares are required, making it impossible for anyone to access it without proper verification.
The full key is never reconstructed, creating a zero-trust signing environment resistant to both local compromise and network-level collusion, while delivering sub-second signing latency at scale.
Human.tech became the first wallet provider to decentralize programmable security and access control by leveraging a global, zero-trust MPC network. It migrated its signing layer to Ika, bringing decentralized security, censorship resistance, zero-trust UX, and protocol-level composability.
WaaP also forms a new foundation for builders, with its universal and generic design, which supports Bitcoin, Solana, and is also fully EIP-1193 compliant. This allows developers to integrate Human Wallet using the same provider interface familiar across Ethereum and other EVM-compatible wallets within minutes.
Developers also have access to seamless onboarding, programmable policies, gas sponsorship, and MFA at the wallet layer.
