ABU DHABI – ADI Foundation has partnered with blockchain security firm Hypernative to provide real-time onchain security monitoring for projects building on ADI Chain, the institutional Layer 2 blockchain designed for stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets across the Middle East and North Africa.
The collaboration enables projects launching on ADI Chain to access Hypernative’s Ecosystem Program from day one, giving developers enterprise-grade security monitoring without the need to establish their own dedicated security infrastructure.
The partnership comes as ADI Chain continues to expand its presence as a regulated blockchain infrastructure platform. The network recently secured a $50 million strategic investment to support its Layer 2 expansion across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. It also serves as the settlement infrastructure for the UAE dirham-backed DDSC stablecoin, introduced by First Abu Dhabi Bank, IHC, and Sirius International Holding, while the $ADI token recently gained broader accessibility through Ledger Wallet integration.
Under the agreement, Hypernative will provide continuous monitoring of smart contracts, wallets, bridges, and other critical blockchain infrastructure. Its platform is designed to detect threats in real time and trigger automated responses, helping projects mitigate attacks before transactions are finalized onchain.
The partnership reflects the growing importance of blockchain security as institutional adoption accelerates. With governments, financial institutions, and enterprises increasingly exploring tokenized assets and regulated stablecoins, robust security has become a key requirement for digital finance infrastructure.
“Security is one of the first questions institutions ask before they put regulated assets onchain,” said Kiran Kumar, Head of Security at ADI Foundation. He noted that real-time monitoring will help projects respond more quickly to threats while supporting the adoption of real-world assets and stablecoins on ADI Chain.
Hypernative said its monitoring capabilities address some of the industry’s most significant security risks, including bridge exploits, smart contract vulnerabilities, and private key compromises. The platform integrates threat detection with automated response mechanisms, enabling projects to react during an attack rather than after funds have been lost.
“Chains earn trust when the projects on them can operate without carrying blind spots,” said Gal Sagie, CEO and Co-Founder of Hypernative. He added that the collaboration aims to help teams building regulated financial products balance security with ecosystem growth.
Hypernative currently monitors more than $100 billion in digital assets across over 70 blockchain networks for more than 300 organizations, including Circle, Chainlink, Ethena, Galaxy, and Morpho.
The announcement follows several recent milestones for ADI Chain, including the launch of the Central Bank-approved DDSC AED stablecoin on its network, Ledger Wallet support for the $ADI token, a partnership with The Block to advance blockchain adoption in the UAE, and its recent $50 million funding round. Together, these developments underscore ADI Foundation’s efforts to position ADI Chain as a secure and regulated blockchain platform for institutional digital finance in emerging markets.
