The ADI Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Abu Dhabi, announced the launch of the public test network for its new project 'ADI Chain', a second layer blockchain (EVM L2) designed to be the foundational infrastructure for a wide range of real-world applications, including the digital future of the stable UAE dirham, financial services, healthcare, identity, sustainability, and other vital sectors.

Vision 2030: One billion users on the chain

Initially, the ADI Foundation was established by Sirius International Holding (one of IHC's companies) as a non-profit organization, aimed at empowering governments and institutions in emerging markets through blockchain-based infrastructure that supports sovereign digital economies.

'ADI Chain' features innovative architecture based on acceleration through graphics processing units (GPU) with AI-supported protocols, providing high processing speed and extremely low fees, enabling near-instant settlement of transactions and the building of smart, responsive applications.

The foundation confirmed that it will continue to expand the network infrastructure by adding new nodes, attracting ecosystem partners, and supporting strategic use cases in the UAE and emerging markets.

Andrei Lazurinko, CEO of ADI Foundation, said:

"The launch of the test network represents a pivotal step towards achieving Abu Dhabi's vision of building a reliable, high-performance digital infrastructure. Thanks to GPU-based computing and AI-supported design, ADI Chain will provide a robust institutional foundation capable of accommodating ecosystem partners, supporting our goal of bringing one billion new users to the world of blockchain by 2030."

The digital dirham project and the deployment of blockchain in public services

'ADI Chain' is considered regulatory-compliant since its inception, aiming to bridge the gap between modern technologies and strict government requirements. Other chains often fail to meet these conditions, hindering their official adoption.

Thanks to this approach, authorized governments and institutions can launch stablecoins, real estate registries, health systems, and digital payment infrastructure without compromising on speed, security, or compliance.

The beginning will be with a stablecoin project backed by the UAE dirham, which is being developed in collaboration with major institutions such as First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), ADQ, and IHC, and will be subject to the supervision of the UAE Central Bank.

The chain aims to become the backbone of digital transformation in the region, enhancing Abu Dhabi's position as the new Silicon Valley for inclusive financial technology.

The call is open for developers

The ADI Foundation announced that the test network is now open to developers wishing to test its capabilities and contribute to improving its performance in preparation for the official launch of the main network. The test environment can be accessed via ADI Testnet Explorer.
