Core Imports

rust
use ika::ika::IKA;
use ika_dwallet_2pc_mpc::{
    coordinator::DWalletCoordinator,
    coordinator_inner::{
        DWalletCap, ImportedKeyDWalletCap,
        UnverifiedPresignCap, VerifiedPresignCap,

        MessageApproval, ImportedKeyMessageApproval
    },
    sessions_manager::SessionIdentifier
};
use sui::{balance::Balance, coin::Coin, sui::SUI};

Contract Template

rust
public struct MyContract has key, store {
    id: UID,
    dwallet_cap: DWalletCap,
    presigns: vector<UnverifiedPresignCap>,
    ika_balance: Balance<IKA>,
    sui_balance: Balance<SUI>,
    dwallet_network_encryption_key_id: ID,
}

Required Helpers

rust
fun random_session(coordinator: &mut DWalletCoordinator, ctx: &mut TxContext): SessionIdentifier {
    coordinator.register_session_identifier(ctx.fresh_object_address().to_bytes(), ctx)
}

fun withdraw_payment_coins(self: &mut MyContract, ctx: &mut TxContext): (Coin<IKA>, Coin<SUI>) {
    let ika = self.ika_balance.withdraw_all().into_coin(ctx);
    let sui = self.sui_balance.withdraw_all().into_coin(ctx);
    (ika, sui)
}

fun return_payment_coins(self: &mut MyContract, ika: Coin<IKA>, sui: Coin<SUI>) {
    self.ika_balance.join(ika.into_balance());
    self.sui_balance.join(sui.into_balance());
}

public fun add_ika_balance(self: &mut MyContract, coin: Coin<IKA>) {
    self.ika_balance.join(coin.into_balance());
}

public fun add_sui_balance(self: &mut MyContract, coin: Coin<SUI>) {
    self.sui_balance.join(coin.into_balance());
}

DWalletCoordinator

Central shared object for all operations. Pass as &mut DWalletCoordinator for mutations, &DWalletCoordinator for reads.

Get ID in TypeScript: ikaClient.ikaConfig.objects.ikaDWalletCoordinator.objectID

Capabilities

| Capability | Purpose | Created By | |---|---|---| | DWalletCap | Authorize signing | DKG | | ImportedKeyDWalletCap | Authorize imported key signing | Import verification | | UnverifiedPresignCap | Presign reference (needs verify) | Presign request | | VerifiedPresignCap | Ready for signing | verify_presign_cap() | | UnverifiedPartialUserSignatureCap | Partial sig (needs verify) | Future sign | | VerifiedPartialUserSignatureCap | Ready for completion | verify_partial_user_signature_cap() | | MessageApproval | Auth to sign specific message | approve_message() | | ImportedKeyMessageApproval | Auth for imported keys | approve_imported_key_message() |

SessionIdentifier

Every protocol op needs a unique SessionIdentifier. Create via:

rust
let session = coordinator.register_session_identifier(ctx.fresh_object_address().to_bytes(), ctx);

Rules: create just before use, never reuse, one per operation.

Payment Pattern

All ops require IKA+SUI fees. Pattern: withdraw all -> perform ops (fees auto-deducted from &mut Coin) -> return remainder.

Protocol: DKG (Create dWallet)

Shared dWallet (recommended for contracts)

Public user share, network signs without user interaction.

rust
let (dwallet_cap, _) = coordinator.request_dwallet_dkg_with_public_user_secret_key_share(
    dwallet_network_encryption_key_id, curve,
    centralized_public_key_share_and_proof, user_public_output, public_user_secret_key_share,
    option::none(), // sign_during_dkg_request
    session, &mut ika, &mut sui, ctx,
);

Zero-Trust dWallet

Encrypted user share, user must participate in every signature.

rust
let (dwallet_cap, _) = coordinator.request_dwallet_dkg(
    dwallet_network_encryption_key_id, curve,
    centralized_public_key_share_and_proof, encrypted_centralized_secret_share_and_proof,
    encryption_key_address, user_public_output, signer_public_key,
    option::none(), session, &mut ika, &mut sui, ctx,
);

Important: After zero-trust DKG (or key import), the dWallet is in AwaitingKeyHolderSignature state. The user must call acceptEncryptedUserShare to transition the dWallet to Active state before it can be used for signing:

typescript
// Wait for DKG to complete and dWallet to reach AwaitingKeyHolderSignature state
const awaitingDWallet = await ikaClient.getDWalletInParticularState(dwalletId, 'AwaitingKeyHolderSignature');
// The encrypted user secret key share ID comes from the DKG transaction event,
// NOT from the dWallet ID.
const encryptedShare = await ikaClient.getEncryptedUserSecretKeyShare(encryptedUserSecretKeyShareId);

const tx = new Transaction();
const ikaTx = new IkaTransaction({ ikaClient, transaction: tx, userShareEncryptionKeys: keys });
await ikaTx.acceptEncryptedUserShare({
    dWallet: awaitingDWallet,
    encryptedUserSecretKeyShareId: encryptedShare.id,
    userPublicOutput: new Uint8Array(dkgData.userPublicOutput),
});
await suiClient.core.signAndExecuteTransaction({ transaction: tx, signer: keypair });

// dWallet is now Active and ready for signing
const activeDWallet = await ikaClient.getDWalletInParticularState(dwalletId, 'Active');

This step is NOT needed for shared dWallets (created with request_dwallet_dkg_with_public_user_secret_key_share).

TypeScript DKG Prep

typescript
import { prepareDKGAsync, UserShareEncryptionKeys, Curve, createRandomSessionIdentifier } from '@ika.xyz/sdk';
const keys = await UserShareEncryptionKeys.fromRootSeedKey(seed, Curve.SECP256K1);
const bytesToHash = createRandomSessionIdentifier(); // bytes hashed to derive the session identifier
const dkgData = await prepareDKGAsync(ikaClient, Curve.SECP256K1, keys, bytesToHash, signerAddress);
const networkKey = await ikaClient.getLatestNetworkEncryptionKey();
// dkgData has: userDKGMessage, userPublicOutput, encryptedUserShareAndProof, userSecretKeyShare

Sign During DKG (optional)

Pass existing presign to get signature during DKG:

rust
let sign_req = coordinator.sign_during_dkg_request(verified_presign, hash_scheme, message, msg_sig);
// Pass option::some(sign_req) instead of option::none() in DKG call

Protocol: Presigning

Each signature consumes one presign. Manage a pool.

Global Presign (most common: Taproot, EdDSA, Schnorr, ECDSA)

rust
let cap = coordinator.request_global_presign(
    dwallet_network_encryption_key_id, curve, signature_algorithm,
    session, &mut ika, &mut sui, ctx,
);
self.presigns.push_back(cap);

dWallet-Specific Presign (ECDSA with imported keys)

rust
let cap = coordinator.request_presign(
    dwallet_id, signature_algorithm, session, &mut ika, &mut sui, ctx,
);

Verify Before Use

rust
let is_ready = coordinator.is_presign_valid(&unverified_cap);
let verified = coordinator.verify_presign_cap(unverified_cap, ctx); // fails if not ready

Pool Management

rust
// Pop from pool
let unverified = self.presigns.swap_remove(0);

// Auto-replenish after signing
if (self.presigns.length() < MIN_POOL) {
    let s = random_session(coordinator, ctx);
    self.presigns.push_back(coordinator.request_global_presign(
        self.dwallet_network_encryption_key_id, curve, sig_algo, s, &mut ika, &mut sui, ctx,
    ));
};

// Batch add
let mut i = 0;
while (i < count) {
    let s = random_session(coordinator, ctx);
    self.presigns.push_back(coordinator.request_global_presign(..., s, &mut ika, &mut sui, ctx));
    i = i + 1;
};

Protocol: Direct Signing

Single-phase, immediate signature. Use when no governance needed.

rust
// 1. Verify presign
let verified = coordinator.verify_presign_cap(self.presigns.swap_remove(0), ctx);

// 2. Approve message
let approval = coordinator.approve_message(&self.dwallet_cap, sig_algo, hash_scheme, message);

// 3. Sign
let sign_id = coordinator.request_sign_and_return_id(
    verified, approval, message_centralized_signature, session, &mut ika, &mut sui, ctx,
);
// Also: coordinator.request_sign(...) without return ID

TypeScript: Create User Signature

typescript
import { createUserSignMessageWithPublicOutput, Curve, SignatureAlgorithm, Hash } from '@ika.xyz/sdk';
const completedPresign = await ikaClient.getPresignInParticularState(presignId, 'Completed');
const protocolPublicParameters = await ikaClient.getProtocolPublicParameters(undefined, Curve.SECP256K1);
const msgSig = await createUserSignMessageWithPublicOutput(
    protocolPublicParameters,
    dWallet.state.Active!.public_output,
    dWallet.public_user_secret_key_share,
    completedPresign.presign,
    message,
    Hash.SHA256,
    SignatureAlgorithm.Taproot,
    Curve.SECP256K1,
);
// Pass msgSig as message_centralized_signature to Move

Retrieve Signature

typescript
const signSession = await ikaClient.getSignInParticularState(
    signId, Curve.SECP256K1, SignatureAlgorithm.Taproot, 'Completed',
);
const sig = await parseSignatureFromSignOutput(Curve.SECP256K1, SignatureAlgorithm.Taproot, signSession.signature);

Protocol: Future Signing (Two-Phase)

Separates commitment from execution. For governance/multisig/delayed signing.

Phase 1: Create Partial Signature

rust
let partial_cap = coordinator.request_future_sign(
    self.dwallet_cap.dwallet_id(), verified_presign, message, hash_scheme,
    message_centralized_signature, session, &mut ika, &mut sui, ctx,
);
// Store partial_cap with request for later

Phase 2: Complete After Approval

rust
// Verify partial sig
let verified_partial = coordinator.verify_partial_user_signature_cap(partial_cap, ctx);

// Create approval
let approval = coordinator.approve_message(&self.dwallet_cap, sig_algo, hash_scheme, message);

// Complete signature
let sign_id = coordinator.request_sign_with_partial_user_signature_and_return_id(
    verified_partial, approval, session, &mut ika, &mut sui, ctx,
);

Check/Match

rust
let ready = coordinator.is_partial_user_signature_valid(&unverified_cap);
let matches = coordinator.match_partial_user_signature_with_message_approval(&verified, &approval);

Protocol: Key Importing

Import existing private key into dWallet system. Returns ImportedKeyDWalletCap.

rust
let imported_cap = coordinator.request_imported_key_dwallet_verification(
    dwallet_network_encryption_key_id, curve, centralized_party_message,
    encrypted_centralized_secret_share_and_proof, encryption_key_address,
    user_public_output, signer_public_key, session, &mut ika, &mut sui, ctx,
);

Imported Key Differences

• Use ImportedKeyDWalletCap instead of DWalletCap
• Use coordinator.approve_imported_key_message(...) instead of approve_message
• Use coordinator.request_imported_key_sign_and_return_id(...) for signing
• Use coordinator.request_presign(dwallet_id, ...) for ECDSA presigns (dWallet-specific)
• Future sign completion: request_imported_key_sign_with_partial_user_signature_and_return_id

Protocol: Convert Zero-Trust to Shared

Irreversible. Makes user secret key share public, enabling contract-owned signing.

rust
coordinator.request_make_dwallet_user_secret_key_shares_public(
    dwallet_id, public_user_secret_key_shares, session, &mut ika, &mut sui, ctx,
);

TypeScript: save dkgData.userSecretKeyShare during DKG for potential later conversion.

Key Decision Points

• Shared vs Zero-Trust: Use shared for contract-owned signing (DAOs, treasuries, bots). Use zero-trust for user-held wallets.
• Direct vs Future Sign: Direct for immediate signing. Future for governance/multisig (two-phase).
• Global vs dWallet-Specific Presign: Global for most cases. dWallet-specific only for ECDSA with imported keys.
• DKG vs Import: DKG generates new distributed key (more secure). Import brings existing private key.
