The UAE Dirham is now live on ADI Chain. Initiated by @ihc__official and First Abu Dhabi Bank (@FABConnects), approved and licensed by @centralbankuae, the DDSC stablecoin is backed 1:1 by UAE Dirham reserves. DDSC is hosted exclusively on ADI Chain’s compliance-ready blockchain infrastructure. What sets this launch apart is the ecosystem behind it: • International Holding Company, one of the largest investment companies in the world, enables regional distribution across 1,300+ subsidiaries • First Abu Dhabi Bank acts as the banking partner, supporting custody of fiat reserves across 20 markets • Sirius International Holding is supporting deployment and institutional adoption • DDSC manages regulated issuance and distribution • ADI Chain delivers the programmable, 24/7 settlement infrastructure Together, we establish a new benchmark for sovereign digital finance. DDSC is built for high-value use cases – enabling payments, treasury management, and cross-border trade flows within a trusted environment. It validates our broader model. This is the first step toward a network of sovereign stablecoins operating on a shared layer. It creates a plug-and-play framework for national digital currencies to achieve interoperability at scale. It is why giants like @Mastercard and @MPESAAfrica have partnered with the @ADI_Foundation, and why @BlackRock and @FTI_Global are exploring tokenized asset structures on our network. They recognize the need for onchain rails designed for institutional scale. DDSC stablecoin operates on ADI Chain’s infrastructure, where $ADI functions as the utility token powering onchain transactions. The rails for digital money are officially open.

ADI Chain Mainnet and $ADI are now live. A new era of institutional blockchain starts today. From day one, $ADI is listed on @krakenfx, @kucoincom, and @cryptocom, and soon on @eToro, ensuring global accessibility and liquidity as the network scales. The token is also available through @wallet_tg, enabling users to manage $ADI directly within the Telegram app, as well as @fasset, the global banking and investment platform. $ADI is the native gas token powering all transactions across ADI Chain's L2 and customizable L3 domains, covering fees, smart-contract execution, and settlement across the network – enabling efficient, compliant infrastructure for stablecoins and real-world asset tokenization. Notably, ADI Chain will host the UAE's dirham-backed stablecoin being developed by First Abu Dhabi Bank and IHC, laying the foundation for a broader, multi-currency ecosystem of sovereign stablecoins. Built on @zksync's Atlas and Airbender stack, ADI Chain delivers a compliance-ready framework for real-world, regulated digital infrastructure. It enables jurisdiction-specific L3 domains with optionally built-in KYC/AML, privacy controls, and programmable governance, all while remaining fully interoperable. Backed by 50+ government and enterprise projects across 20+ countries – including partnerships with @adrec_ae for real-estate tokenization and @EDCAbuDhabi for blockchain-based solutions – the network launches with real-world adoption already in motion. With 500 million people already within its reach and a roadmap to bring 1 billion people onchain by 2030, ADI Chain is positioned for institutional-grade scale. That's Different.

ADI Chain Mainnet is live. This moment marks the start of something bigger. We brought together voices from across our leadership to reflect on what this means. Our CEO @AndreyLazorenko, along with Council Members Huy Nguyen Trieu, Arif Khan, and Guillaume Tenant de La Tour, share their views on sovereign infrastructure, ecosystem partnerships, and the mission to bring a billion people onchain. This milestone is rooted in collaboration, long-term vision, and the potential that trusted infrastructure can unlock.

Are you building Hook with custom trading / liquidity management logic? We know there are a hundreds (maybe thousands) builders building on top of the @Uniswap V4 and are going to launch their hooks soon. We know that each of these hooks can have custom functionality, which makes it more complicated for us to index and show you data correctly. We know that some of you may doubt that integrate each custom hook is possible due to complexity and time consumption. We will PROVE you wrong. We're gonna integrate all of them, you may even get tired of integrations. And you'll say, "Please, please. It's too much of the integrations. We can't take it anymore." And we'll say "No it isn't, we have to keep integrating, we have to integrate all of them."🦄 If you are building a hook with custom trading / liquidity management logic, please help us to accelerate Uniswap V4 space, we will navigate all the users through the dark forest of the hooks. We are releasing a form for the custom hooks integration acceleration. Read the instruction and fill the form by the link below👇

Today, @OpenZeppelin released their first Uniswap V4 Hooks Release Candidate. We checked what's inside:

Introducing Stages: a framework to evaluate @Uniswap v4 Hooks security maturity The more decentralized finance grows, the more innovative approaches are developed to solve complex industry problems. One such innovation is Uniswap v4 Hooks, which were introduced recently — customizable smart contracts that let developers adjust liquidity pool behavior. These enable features like dynamic fees and on-chain limit orders, offering adaptability but also introducing security and operational risks. In this article, we introduce a Hook Security Maturity Framework, a structured approach to evaluate the security, transparency, and decentralization of Uniswap v4 hooks. Inspired by the @l2beat Rollup Maturity Stages, this framework helps rank hooks into stages based on their security practices, governance mechanisms, and resilience. Why do we need a Hook Security Maturity Framework? Hooks are powerful, but they can also introduce significant security vulnerabilities if implemented or governed poorly. As hooks become increasingly integrated into financial infrastructure, it becomes important to categorize their reliability using a standardized methodology. Key questions this framework aims to answer include: - How secure is this hook? - Who controls it? - What happens if something goes wrong? - Can users trust this hook with significant capital? The Hook Security Maturity Framework provides clarity to developers, users, and investors by categorizing hooks into well-defined security stages. The four stages of hook security maturity Stage 0: experimental hooks Description: hooks at this stage are experimental or in early development. They may lack rigorous testing, audits, or clear documentation. Key characteristics: - No or internal-only audits; - Fully centralized control (e.g., single admin key); - No emergency response plan; - Minimal or unclear documentation; Risks: Very high. Users must place full trust in the hook's developer. L2BEAT Analogy: Stage 0 — Full Training Wheels - heavy reliance on the developer for trust and safety. Stage 1: audited & controlled hooks Description: these hooks have passed at least one security audit and have implemented basic governance and fallback mechanisms. Key characteristics: - One reputable third-party audit completed; - Controlled by multisig or small council; - Basic emergency response plan in place; - Transparent documentation available; Risks: moderate. Centralized elements still exist, but oversight has improved. L2BEAT Analogy: Stage 1 — Limited Training Wheels - improved safety but reliance on key actors remains. Stage 2: Secure & semi-decentralized hooks Description: at this stage, hooks demonstrate strong security practices, multiple audits, and governance mechanisms that involve the community. Key characteristics: - Multiple third-party audits and active bug bounty programs; - Multisig or DAO control; - Clear and documented emergency response processes; - Open-source and well-documented code; Risks: low. Security is robust, and failure modes are well-understood. L2BEAT Analogy: Stage 2 — No Training Wheels - significant decentralization and robust security practices. Stage 3: fully autonomous hooks Description: these hooks are fully decentralized, immutable (if appropriate), and governed by transparent DAO processes. Key characteristics: - Multiple audits and continuous monitoring; - Fully decentralized governance; - Immutable or upgradeable via DAO consensus; - Comprehensive threat modeling and emergency mechanisms; Risks: extremely low. Users can rely on the system without trusting a single party. Analogy: battle-tested infrastructure - fully trustless and resilient. Key evaluation criteria Each stage is determined by considering the following dimensions: - Audit & code review: frequency and quality of audits; - Access control: who controls admin rights and fallback mechanisms? - Upgradeability: is the hook immutable or upgradeable? How transparent is the process? - Emergency procedures: are there defined mechanisms for handling failures? - Governance: how decentralized is decision-making? - Transparency: is the code open-source and well-documented? Adoption metrics: a supporting indicator While adoption metrics such as Total Value Locked (TVL), transaction volume, and number of pools using the hook are important, they are not primary factors in determining security maturity. Instead, these metrics serve as supporting indicators to prioritize evaluations and identify widely used hooks that might carry systemic risk. Why this matters In a world where in DeFi protocols billions of dollars are involved, a single vulnerable hook could have catastrophic consequences. By providing a clear and standardized framework, we aim to: - Motivate developers to follow best security practices; - Help users make informed decisions; - Build a safer and more resilient Uniswap v4 ecosystem; What’s next? The Hook Security Maturity Framework is just the beginning. As the ecosystem evolves, we will refine these stages and criteria based on real-world insights and community feedback. Stay tuned for our upcoming Hook Evaluation Reports, where we’ll assess and evaluate popular Uniswap v4 hooks using this framework. Initially, we will focus on evaluating experimental hooks developed during the Uniswap Hook Incubator cohorts. Following that, our assessments will extend to commercial on-chain projects once Uniswap v4 is launched on the mainnet. Let’s build a secure, transparent, and decentralized future for DeFi — one hook at a time. If you have feedback or suggestions for improving this framework, we’d love to hear from you!
