ADI Foundation, the organisation behind the institutional blockchain network ADI Chain, and The Vault, an institutional digital asset infrastructure platform, have announced a partnership to strengthen digital asset custody infrastructure and advance research into post-quantum security.
The partnership brings together ADI Chain's institutional blockchain infrastructure and The Vault's expertise in digital asset custody technology and advanced cryptography to strengthen the security infrastructure supporting institutional participation in onchain financial markets.
Under the partnership, The Vault plans to integrate ADI Chain into its institutional custody platform, enabling support for the ADI token and assets issued on the network, including DDSC, the UAE dirham-backed stablecoin.
Once implemented, the integration is intended to allow institutions using The Vault's platform to manage supported ADI Chain assets through established security controls, transaction authorisation policies, and multi-party computation (MPC) technology.
The Vault will also make its custody infrastructure and proprietary MPC technology available to ADI Foundation.
The partnership will also explore post-quantum security to help protect digital assets against future threats from quantum computing.
Andrey Lazorenko, CEO of ADI Foundation, says: “Secure custody is a fundamental requirement for bringing institutional finance onchain. As stablecoins and tokenised assets become more widely adopted, institutions need confidence that their assets can be securely managed and protected over the long term.
“Our partnership with The Vault strengthens the infrastructure supporting ADI Chain today, while helping us explore the next generation of security capabilities needed for institutional digital finance.”
Artem Stopnevich, CEO of The Vault, adds: “The UAE has been one of the earliest jurisdictions to put regulated digital money into real use, and networks such as ADI Chain are being built to carry it at institutional scale. As a technology provider, our role is to give institutions robust control over how their digital assets are held, managed, and transferred, with the same confidence they place in the traditional financial system, today and in 10 years' time.
“Bringing our MPC custody technology to the ADI ecosystem addresses the first part of that, and our post-quantum research with ADI Foundation is how we intend to prepare for the challenges of the quantum era.”
