We're spotlighting @ikadotxyz, the breakout star revolutionizing SUI. From shattering NFT records to pioneering cross-chain infrastructure, Ika has emerged as the force driving $SUI's explosive growth in 2025. Let's dive deep into the protocol that has the whole SUI ecosystems attention!
Protocol Innovation
Breaking Barriers
Ika isn't just another project—it's a sub-second multi-party computation (MPC) powerhouse built on $SUI that's redefining what's possible in Web3:
- Unprecedented Scale: 10,000+ transactions per second across hundreds of decentralized nodes
- Zero-Trust Security: Advanced cryptographic architecture eliminating vulnerability points
- Cross-Chain Coordination: Seamless interaction between previously siloed blockchain ecosystems
- $SUI Advantage: Leveraging Sui's millisecond finality and near-zero transaction costs
With substantial backing from the Sui Foundation, Ika is positioned at the intersection of gaming, DeFi, and infrastructure—the perfect storm for catalyzing mass adoption.

Vision and Roadmap
Connecting Blockchains
Ika's ambitious roadmap is laser-focused on breaking down barriers between blockchain ecosystems:

- Bitcoin on Sui: Bringing programmability to BTC through Sui's advanced rollup technology
- Gaming Without Limits: Enabling in-game assets to move freely between virtual worlds
- Decentralized Infrastructure: Building the backend for truly seamless Web3 experiences
This vision perfectly complements Sui's growing $1B+ DeFi ecosystem, creating a virtuous cycle accelerated by the pro-crypto regulatory environment taking shape in 2025.
