WaaP is the evolution of Wallet-as-a-Service, and it’s now available on Sui. Devs can now easily onboard users without seed phrases, no backend lock-in, and cryptographic guarantees powered by Ika.
Today, human.tech, the leading privacy-first infrastructure suite, announces the integration of Wallet-as-a-Protocol (WaaP) onto Sui, a high-performance blockchain delivering the full stack for a new global economy. WaaP gives Sui developers a new tool to expand user onboarding to one of crypto’s most exciting L1s as its first fully decentralized wallet execution layer.
WaaP enables developers to embed self-custodial wallets directly into applications using familiar login methods, such as email, phone, Google, or Face ID, while providing cryptographic guarantees that no third party can access user funds. Unlike traditional Wallet-as-a-Service providers, WaaP operates as a protocol infrastructure that is free for developers to use without vendor lock-in.
The Problem WaaP Solves
Embedded wallets have become essential for onboarding mainstream users to crypto applications. However, most solutions create hidden tradeoffs: developers inherit weak security models, users lose true ownership, and applications become dependent on vendor infrastructure that can change terms, raise prices, or shut down.
WaaP eliminates these tradeoffs. The protocol runs on Ika, a censorship-resistant coordination layer built on Sui, where transaction policies are enforced by smart contracts rather than server logic. This architecture delivers the UX of managed wallets with the security properties of hardware wallets.
The result: users get seedless, social login wallets. Developers get embeddable infrastructure with no custody liability. WaaP funnels the demand for truly secure self-custody and easy onboarding into demand for Sui blockspace, catalyzing a network-effect flywheel.
WaaP uses two-party computation to split signing authority between the user’s device and WaaPs infrastructure. Neither party can move funds alone. Policy controls, such as spend limits, contract allowlists, or approval thresholds, are enforced cryptographically on the Sui network during signing, no longer requiring a backend service.
Real Adoption, Real Ecosystems
human.tech’s infrastructure already serves nearly 3 million verified users across its ecosystem, with over 43 million credentials issued and more than $500 million in protected value. The integration brings this proven infrastructure to Sui’s ecosystem, ranked in the top 15 chains by total value locked and the top 8 by DEX volume..
“Sui developers can now offer seamless, seedless self-custody without taking on the risks of traditional wallet services,” said Shady El Damaty, Holonym Foundation CEO. “With Ika’s decentralized security layer native to Sui, there’s no tradeoff between user experience and true ownership. This is what embedded wallets should have been from the start.”
Looking Ahead
WaaP on Sui sets the foundation for next-generation wallet capabilities, including programmable accounts and delegated execution for automated workflows. As AI agents increasingly operate on-chain, the same architecture that protects users today will enable safe, scoped delegation tomorrow — agents that act within defined boundaries while humans retain ultimate authority.
“Using an embedded wallet shouldn’t require giving up ownership,” said Evan Cheng, Co-Founder and CEO of Mysten Labs, the original contributor to Sui. “With WaaP built on Ika and native to Sui, developers and users both get a brand new way to access Sui. This is a win for the ecosystem.”
WaaP is available now for Sui developers. Documentation and integration guides are available at docs.waap.xyz.
