Abu Dhabi’s ADI Foundation launches ADI Chain testnet, combining AI and GPU innovation to support stablecoins.
Abu Dhabi-based ADI Foundation announced the public testnet launch of ADI Chain, an EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain designed to deliver high throughput and ultra-low fees through AI-assisted automation and GPU acceleration.
According to ADI Foundation, ADI Chain has been built to bridge the gap between compliance and innovation. The platform is structured as a compliance-native L2, enabling governments and regulated institutions to deploy services such as stablecoins, land registries, health systems, and payment rails without compromising speed or regulatory standards.
A major focus will be its integration into a Dirham-backed stablecoin project being developed with leading UAE institutions under the oversight of the Central Bank of the UAE. This forms part of the foundation’s wider mission to bring one billion new users on-chain by 2030 through partnerships across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
“Launching the testnet is an important step towards realising Abu Dhabi’s vision for trusted, high-performance digital infrastructure,” said Andrey Lazorenko, CEO of ADI Foundation. “With GPU computing and AI-engineered protocol design at its core, ADI Chain will provide enterprise-grade infrastructure for scaling ecosystem partners, which will support our mission in bringing 1 billion new users on-chain by 2030.”
The chain’s design enables developers to build responsive applications with near real-time settlement. Key innovations include support for complex computational graphs and optimised GPU-powered protocol execution.
The ADI Foundation is also investing in expanding node infrastructure, onboarding ecosystem partners, and supporting use cases. The testnet is open to developers globally who wish to test and optimise the chain ahead of its planned mainnet deployment.
