The collaboration builds on ADGM’s groundbreaking Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) Foundations Regulations, aiming to create a comprehensive framework for Blockchain Foundations and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs).

The effort supports ADGM’s goal of making Abu Dhabi a major hub for tech-driven financial services, setting new regulatory standards, and encouraging blockchain innovation.

“Our collaboration with Polygon Labs underscores ADGM’s commitment to shaping the future of blockchain through innovation and regulatory leadership,” said Hamad Al Mazrouei, CEO of ADGM Registration Authority.
