Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and oracle services have been selected as the canonical cross-chain bridge and official oracle provider for ADIChain, a blockchain network backed by International Holding Company (IHC) with over $240 billion in assets. The strategic partnership, announced by the ADI Foundation, aims to accelerate the tokenization of real-world assets and expand the use of stablecoins across the Middle East, North Africa (MENA), Africa, and Asia.
The integration positions Chainlink as the core infrastructure provider for ADIChain's institutional-grade blockchain services. Chainlink CCIP will enable secure asset transfers between ADIChain and other major blockchain ecosystems, designed to reduce cross-chain risks with uniform messaging and transfer protocols built for high-value transactions. Simultaneously, Chainlink's oracle network will deliver secure price feeds, reserve verification, and off-chain data connectivity.
A central component of the collaboration is the support for the UAE Dirham-backed stablecoin, DDSC (Digital Dirham Stablecoin). Chainlink will provide reliable price data and reserve verification for DDSC, which is licensed by the Central Bank of the UAE and hosted on ADIChain. The oracle services will also check the net asset value (NAV) of tokenized securities and funds, linking traditional financial data with blockchain networks to support regulated tokenization frameworks.
The ADI Foundation's ecosystem includes notable institutional partners such as BlackRock and Mastercard, placing the network within a significant institutional framework focused on sovereign and enterprise blockchain use cases. ADI Foundation CEO Andrey Lazorenko stated, "As we build the digital rails for governments, central banks, and enterprises across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, integrating Chainlink’s proven oracle network and Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) is essential to delivering the institutional-grade security and reliability our partners require."
The partnership is framed as a step toward trusted blockchain expansion, with a focus on compliance, operational reliability, and scaling tokenized assets across regulated markets. The companies stated the infrastructure is designed to support over one billion users across emerging markets, facilitating secure financial innovation and global system connectivity.
