ADI's Vision

Crypto infrastructure isn’t built for real-world use. And the real world has problems—such as a lack of safe payment rails with settlement delays for much of the globe and unreliable healthcare data storage—that can only be solved through blockchain. Most chains can’t meet government standards, and most governments can’t deploy antiquated systems on new technology quickly. To bridge the gap between compliance and innovation, we need a different idea of a blockchain.

ADI Chain is a modular, highly performant, customizable, cost-effective, and secure blockchain secured by the Ethereum network. This compliance-native L2 lets institutions launch stablecoins, health systems, land registries, and payment rails, without sacrificing control.

The chain was built by the ADI Foundation, which is in a unique position to bring the benefits of blockchain technology to the world. Our parent company, Sirius International Holding, the digital arm of Abu Dhabi's IHC, a $240B+ holding company that is the largest listed company in the UAE.

A critical piece of the ADI Chain is our Dirham-backed stablecoin. Developed by the consortium of IHC, First Abu Dhabi Bank, and ADQ, this stablecoin provides a way to instantly send UAE Dirham across the world at a very low cost.

ADI Chain can improve the well-being of individuals, businesses, and governments around the world by providing tailor-made essential services for the vast network of industries, including healthcare, finance, energy, logistics, governments, education, real estate, and more. ADI has the opportunity to bring large-scale improvements to these industries, such as:

• Improved data security for highly-sensitive sectors such as finance and healthcare

• Cheaper and more efficient transactions to improve e-commerce platforms, mobile money apps, and international payment providers

• Tokenization of assets such as carbon credits and real estate, improving liquidity and verifiable proof of ownership

All of these exciting developments can be summed up in our core vision: to deliver digital infrastructure to one billion people by 2030.

ADI has a distinct advantage, which makes bringing one billion people on-chain possible: the ability to immediately focus on scaling at an institutional level. This advantage stems from two key circumstances:

• First, by leveraging our existing ecosystem, ADI enjoys the distinct advantage of avoiding the "cold-start" phase faced by many startups in the crypto industry and beyond.

• Second, ADI Network is a custom-built L2 blockchain that runs on top of Ethereum. This enables it to inherit Ethereum's robust security while also benefiting from fast, low-cost transactions. Additionally, ADI Network was built with certain tools such as Hyperledger Firefly and L3 capabilities, which enable specialized applications that conform to any business use case and regulatory environment.

Ultimately, ADI Network can deliver rapid digital acceleration across dozens of industries around the world. This isn't just an upgrade to current systems: solutions built on ADI Chain can completely transform the way that billions of people use and secure data, money, identity, and more.
