ADI Foundation and Exodus Movement, Inc. have announced a strategic integration that introduces native support for the ADI token and ADI Mainnet within the Exodus wallet ecosystem. The collaboration enables self-custody users to send and receive ADI tokens directly through the Exodus wallet without relying on third-party platforms or external interfaces.
The move is expected to extend ADI Chain’s institutional-focused Layer 2 blockchain infrastructure to millions of digital asset users globally. Through the integration, Exodus users gain direct access to ADI functionality inside the wallet application, simplifying interactions with the network while preserving user control over digital assets.
The partnership also expands beyond retail users through Exodus’ business-to-business client network. Enterprise partners and platforms connected to Exodus will now have the ability to provide ADI services directly to their own customer bases. This broader rollout is expected to strengthen ADI Chain’s reach across multiple consumer-facing ecosystems and enterprise applications.
Institutional Blockchain Infrastructure Targets Wider Adoption
ADI Chain has positioned itself as the first institutional Layer 2 blockchain designed specifically for stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets within the Middle East and North Africa region. Built as a zkRollup on Ethereum, the network became the first globally to implement ZKsync’s Airbender zero-knowledge proof system in a live production environment.
The Exodus integration allows millions of self-custody users to access ADI Chain’s institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure directly through their wallets. The network is also expected to serve as settlement infrastructure for a UAE dirham-backed stablecoin initiative launched by First Abu Dhabi Bank and International Holding Company. The stablecoin project is planned to operate under regulation from the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates.
According to the companies, ADI Chain’s architecture is centered around three operational pillars consisting of regulation, compliance, and policy. Security across the network infrastructure is supported through audits conducted by OpenZeppelin, reinforcing the network’s enterprise-grade framework for financial institutions and government-level applications.
The blockchain ecosystem surrounding ADI Chain has continued to expand through partnerships with major technology providers, including Chainlink, Brickken, and Fireblocks. These collaborations are expected to strengthen the network’s technological capabilities and institutional adoption potential.

Self-Custody Remains Central to the Partnership
ADI Foundation Chief Executive Officer Andrey Lazorenko explained in a written statement that ADI Chain was originally designed to support institutions serving large global populations. He indicated that the Exodus integration transforms regulated blockchain settlement infrastructure into a tool accessible through everyday digital wallets, which he described as a critical step toward broader adoption.
Meanwhile, Kevin Wood stated that Exodus remains focused on reducing barriers between users and blockchain networks while maintaining self-custody principles. He noted that integrating ADI into the wallet ecosystem provides users with a direct self-managed connection to the network and supports wider blockchain accessibility.

Expansion Across Emerging Markets
ADI Chain’s infrastructure is designed to support governments, enterprises, and financial institutions implementing blockchain solutions across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. The Abu Dhabi-based ADI Foundation, founded by Sirius International Holding, a subsidiary of International Holding Company, aims to help bring one billion people into the digital economy by 2030.
The foundation stated that its broader ecosystem already reaches more than 500 million individuals globally. By combining institutional blockchain infrastructure with consumer-focused wallet accessibility, the collaboration with Exodus is expected to accelerate the adoption of regulated digital asset ecosystems in emerging markets.
The partnership strengthens the bridge between institutional blockchain systems and mainstream self-custody users, expanding access to regulated stablecoin and real-world asset infrastructure. As blockchain adoption continues to grow across global financial markets, the integration could position ADI Chain as a key infrastructure provider for compliant digital finance initiatives.
