WaaP \u2014 <\/a>Wallet-as-a-Protocol<\/a> \u2014 is designed to remove those compromises. And as of today, it\u2019s live on Sui.<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/p>\n

Developed by human.tech<\/a>, WaaP launches on <\/a>Sui<\/a> as the network\u2019s first fully decentralized wallet execution layer. It allows developers to embed self-custodial wallets directly into applications using familiar logins like email, phone, Google, or Face ID \u2014 without seed phrases, backend custody, or vendor lock-in.<\/p>\n

Behind the scenes, cryptographic guarantees ensure that no third party can ever access user funds.<\/p>\n

Why Embedded Wallets Needed a Rethink<\/p>\n

Most embedded wallet solutions trade decentralization for convenience. Private keys are often secured by centralized servers. Policy enforcement lives off-chain. Developers become dependent on proprietary infrastructure that can change terms, raise prices, or disappear altogether.<\/p>\n

WaaP takes a different approach.<\/p>\n

Instead of operating as a service, WaaP functions as protocol-level infrastructure. It runs on Ika, a decentralized coordination layer built natively on Sui, where transaction policies are enforced by smart contracts rather than backend logic.<\/p>\n

The result is a system that delivers the UX of managed wallets with the security properties of hardware wallets \u2014 without custody risk.<\/p>\n

Users get seedless, social-login wallets. Developers get embeddable self-custody with no vendor dependency. The network benefits from increased demand for Sui blockspace.<\/p>\n

How WaaP Works Under the Hood<\/p>\n

WaaP uses two-party computation (2PC-MPC) to split signing authority between a user\u2019s device and Ika\u2019s decentralized network. Neither side can move funds on its own.<\/p>\n

Policy controls \u2014 such as spend limits, contract allowlists, or approval thresholds \u2014 are enforced cryptographically on-chain during the signing process. There\u2019s no centralized server deciding what\u2019s allowed.<\/p>\n

This architecture removes backend trust assumptions while keeping onboarding friction close to zero.<\/p>\n

Proven Infrastructure, Now on Sui<\/p>\n

WaaP isn\u2019t launching from zero.<\/p>\n

human.tech<\/a>\u2019s infrastructure already supports nearly 3 million verified users, with over 43 million credentials issued and more than $500 million in protected value. By integrating with Sui \u2014 now among the top chains by TVL and DEX volume \u2014 that infrastructure becomes available to a rapidly growing ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Sui developers can now offer seamless, seedless self-custody without taking on the risks of traditional wallet services, said Shady El Damaty, CEO of the Holonym Foundation. With Ika\u2019s decentralized security layer native to Sui, there\u2019s no longer a tradeoff between user experience and true ownership.<\/p>\n

Built for What Comes Next<\/p>\n

WaaP\u2019s launch on Sui isn\u2019t just about onboarding \u2014 it\u2019s about what wallets will need to support next.<\/p>\n

The same architecture that protects users today lays the groundwork for programmable accounts and delegated execution. As AI agents increasingly operate on-chain, WaaP enables scoped delegation: agents can act within predefined limits, while humans retain ultimate control.<\/p>\n

Using an embedded wallet shouldn\u2019t require giving up ownership, said Evan Cheng, Co-Founder and CEO of Mysten Labs. With WaaP built on Ika and native to Sui, developers and users get a new way to access the network. This strengthens the entire ecosystem.<\/p>\n

The Bigger Picture<\/p>\n

WaaP reframes embedded wallets from a convenience feature into foundational infrastructure. It removes hidden custody risk, eliminates vendor lock-in, and aligns onboarding with the original principles of self-sovereignty.<\/p>\n

For Sui, it introduces a native path to mainstream user adoption without compromising decentralization.<\/p>\n

WaaP is available now for Sui developers, with documentation at <\/a>docs.waap.xyz<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n
