Ika on Solana: the devnet pre-alpha

A dWallet is a signing key that a Solana account controls. Its owner decides which messages it signs, and the ika network produces the signatures. When the owner is a Solana program, the program's rules decide.

The pre-alpha is a mock. Tell the user.

The Solana devnet pre-alpha does not run the real ika network. One backend, the mock, stands in for every validator.

• There is no MPC. The mock holds an ordinary private key for every dWallet and signs alone.
• It is not secure. The mock can sign any message with any dWallet. Never put real funds on a pre-alpha dWallet, and say so to the user when you build something that holds value.
• No private key is ever sent to the mock. An imported key is not read: the mock makes a new key, so the imported dWallet has a different public key and address.
• Everything is wiped from time to time. A wipe can change the program id and the network key.
