ADI Foundation showcased progress at Abu Dhabi Finance Week, highlighting rapid move from concept to execution within a year and its focus on blockchain infrastructure for governments and institutions.

The ADI Chain Mainnet has launched and is live with partnerships in more than 20 countries and 50 institutions, alongside national-level pilots across multiple sectors.

ADI Chain is designed to meet government and institutional needs for scalable, policy-aligned digital infrastructure suitable for national digital identity, government records, and trusted, auditable public services.

The initiative targets onboarding one billion people into the digital economy by 2030, backed by the FutureTech 4.0 Academy to train over 10,000 specialists across web3, regulation, development, operations, and policy.

The UAE is becoming a leading hub for digital assets and blockchain, with ADI Foundation turning policy into scalable systems, including the exploration of dirham-backed stablecoins and cross-border digital finance solutions.

New strategic partnerships announced this week aim to integrate ADI Chain with global financial institutions to advance real-world blockchain applications, regulated stablecoins, and institutional digital finance.

Abu Dhabi’s regulatory framework, led by ADGM, provides clear regulation and national-level confidence in digital assets and web3 technologies.

A dirham-backed stablecoin, developed with IHC and First Abu Dhabi Bank under the UAE framework, aims to enable fast, secure, low-cost payments while preserving monetary sovereignty.

The ADI Foundation network, including Sirius International Holding and IHC, connects more than 90 entities for integrating blockchain into operations and scaling nationwide projects across energy, real estate, and digital identity.
