UAE Launches ADI Chain: A Sovereign Blockchain for National-Scale Digital Systems

The United Arab Emirates has unveiled ADI Chain, a compliance-native, sovereign-backed blockchain built to power everything from secure digital identity to cross-border payments and on-chain land registries. Backed by the ADI Foundation and major UAE institutions—including First Abu Dhabi Bank, which is already issuing a Dirham-backed stablecoin—ADI Chain aims to connect one billion people to trusted digital infrastructure by 2030.

More than another crypto experiment, ADI Chain represents a new model of digital sovereignty where governments can run secure, high-throughput national systems on a blockchain optimized for privacy, compliance, and scalability.
