The UAE plans to power its UAEPASS Digital Vault with the Avalanche blockchain to securely verify documents within the national identity platform that serves about 12.5 million people.

The Digital Vault will allow users to obtain official government documents, store digital copies in UAE PASS, and share them with service providers as needed, prioritizing privacy and security.

UAE PASS has more than 12 million registered users and is used for authentication, digital signatures, and access to government and private-sector services, with the Digital Vault handling official document requests and credentialing.

The piece cites other Avalanche-powered projects, including FIFA World Cup-related transactions, to illustrate real-world scale and performance.

The focus is on blockchain use for government, not crypto, emphasizing identity, trusted documents, and digital services over token issuance.

TDRA and Deca4 are collaborating to implement Avalanche in the Digital Vault, though official technical details on the deployment approach have not been disclosed.

The upgrade is framed as part of a broader shift toward blockchain-based government records, with a parallel example of California DMV digitizing 42 million car titles on Avalanche to speed transfers.

Avalanche’s involvement could broaden its government-use case, but exact deployment details remain awaited from UAE authorities.

The integration aims to strengthen Avalanche’s role in government digital infrastructure while protecting user privacy via off-chain data handling and on-chain verification.

Avalanche executives highlight a reliable, high-performance infrastructure tailored for daily digital services, underscoring accountability and governance for a system serving millions.

Deca4 leads the upgrade in coordination with the UAE’s TDRA to boost vault capacity and performance while ensuring personal data is not stored on-chain.

Ava Labs will provide technical support and infrastructure to enable scalable, reliable digital identity services across hundreds of public and private entities.
