We are an Abu Dhabi-based blockchain project founded by Sirius International Holding - the digital arm of IHC, one of the largest investment companies in the world.
ADI Foundation serves as the institutional gateway enabling governments, sovereign entities, and regulators to confidently adopt blockchain technology through purpose built frameworks and infrastructure aligned with national priorities.
Our aim is to onboard 1 billion people onto blockchain by 2030, starting with markets across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, with ecosystem partners including Mastercard, M-Pesa, BlackRock, and Franklin Templeton.
Middle East, Africa, and Asia: these regions are often left behind in digital transformation, yet they hold so much potential. ADI aims to tap into these emerging markets by giving their governments the infrastructure needed to compete in this new digital era.
We’re building the settlement rails for a dirham-backed stablecoin which is set to be regulated by UAE's Central Bank
We’re working with health-tech experts to enable secure, portable health records throughout the country.
A green-centric initiative to tokenize utility data and support carbon credit markets is also underway.
We’re partnering with the continent’s most trusted mobile money provider to explore onchain payments for millions of users.

What our partners are saying
We are excited to pursue opportunities with Finstreet and ADI to help advance digital assets and tokenized markets initiatives.
This transaction demonstrates that the UAE’s digital infrastructure is live, resilient, and ready to support real institutional financial activity. As one of the founding participants in the DDSC ecosystem, IHC is committed to advancing solutions that improve how capital moves across markets. Executing 110 million DDSC on ADI Chain is a clear signal that we are entering the next phase, where institutional-grade digital assets are not only viable, but operational at scale.
Mastercard is committed to unlocking new opportunities in digital assets through innovation and collaboration. Together with our partners, we will identify and validate high-impact use cases that deliver efficiency in digital payments. By advancing asset tokenization and stablecoin-linked applications, Mastercard is enabling faster, seamless, and more secure transactions. These initiatives underscore our commitment to building trusted bridges between traditional finance and blockchain ecosystems.
Too many African businesses, particularly MSMEs and women- and youth-led businesses, remain excluded from cross-border trade not because they lack competitive products, but because they lack verifiable digital identities, affordable access to finance, interoperable payment systems and trusted digital trade networks. This partnership presents an opportunity to change that trajectory by building the foundations of an integrated African digital market that is secure, inclusive and owned by Africa,
At Franklin Templeton, we are continuously seeking innovative ways to deliver value and expand access to investment solutions. This collaboration with Finstreet Limited and ADI DLT Foundation in ADGM are strategic steps to explore how tokenized assets and digital distribution can unlock new efficiencies and opportunities, ultimately enhancing the value and accessibility of our investment solutions for a broader investor base.
ErosADI is the infrastructure layer that makes sovereign cultural AI real at scale. We have spent decades building one of the world’s largest rights-cleared cultural dataset, and now we are turning that into a programmable, compounding economic system for creators, institutions, and governments. This is not an experiment. This is the foundation of a new cultural economy
