One API to Stake Them All — The Infrastructure Layer Crypto Was Missing

<p><em>P2P.org expands its institutional-grade staking infrastructure to Ika Network, the world's first sub-second MPC network launching on Sui. Here's what this means for institutional reward strategies.</em></p><h2 id="the-cross-chain-challenge-institutions-face-today"><strong>The Cross-Chain Challenge Institutions Face Today</strong></h2><p>Institutional investors managing digital assets across multiple blockchains face a critical bottleneck: existing bridge solutions take 30+ seconds to minutes for cross-chain operations, creating unacceptable delays for trading strategies and liquidity management. Traditional bridges also introduce counterparty risk through wrapped tokens and centralized operators — a non-starter for compliance-focused institutions.</p><p>This is where Ika Network changes everything. As the world's first sub-second Multi-Party Computation (MPC) network, Ika delivers the speed and security institutions demand. <strong>P2P.org is proud to join Ika's elite validator set as the only institutional staking provider</strong>, bringing our proven infrastructure expertise to this revolutionary protocol.</p><h2 id="why-ika-represents-a-paradigm-shift-in-cross-chain-infrastructure"><strong>Why Ika Represents a Paradigm Shift in Cross-Chain Infrastructure</strong></h2><h3 id="breaking-the-speed-barrier"><strong>Breaking the Speed Barrier</strong></h3><p>Traditional MPC networks process signatures in 30-60 seconds with just 4-8 nodes.
