human.tech has launched its Wallet Protocol on the Ika decentralized network, enabling developers to build multi-chain applications across EVM, Sui, and Solana, with additional chains planned. The announcement was made on August 24th, 2026 from Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.
Dr. Shady El Damaty, CEO of parent company Holonym Foundation, described the launch as "the first chain-agnostic and decentralized wallet protocol that does not lock you into an enterprise landlord to rent your users' keys from." He added that support currently covers EVM, Sui, and Solana, while Ika enables the protocol to eventually support every chain.
The protocol is presented as the first commercial application of 2PC-MPC threshold signing between a standard enclave and a decentralized multi-party computation network that can scale to 100+ nodes. The release directly challenges established providers such as Privy and Fireblocks by offering stronger assurances against lock-in, rent-seeking behavior, and service downtime.
Nanak Nihal Khalsa, CTO and system architect, said the wallet protocol is "incredibly well suited for agentic payments and finance" and was designed with automation safeguards to meet government and enterprise standards. The WaaP CLI gives agents instant orchestration across EVM, Sui, and Solana, while the WaaP SDK allows developers to configure hyper-granular policies, webhooks, security rules, and gas sponsorship.
Users receive a unified account that enforces security policies natively on every supported chain without bridging. Network gas fees are abstracted, allowing developers and users to transact without holding native fee tokens on each chain.
The protocol also addresses security risks associated with software custody, including malware, infrastructure failure, service provider defection, user error, agent prompt injection, and agent data leakage. human.tech calls this approach protected self-custody.
The standard Wallet Protocol is currently free to use at any volume, with migration tools available from existing providers. It targets DeFi, consumer, RWA, stablecoin, prediction market, trading, and social app builders. Omer Sadika, Co-Founder of Ika, said the challenge of agentic payments is authority rather than speed, and that "Squid Mode" gives developers bounded permission enforced at the moment of signing by a decentralized network.
human.tech has issued more than 51 million credentials to 2.1 million accounts and protected over $512 million in value against bot and duplicate-account attacks. Ika is described as the network behind Bridgeless Capital Markets, powering dWallets that allow assets from any network to be held, traded, and used on any other without bridges or wrapped tokens.
