ADGM and Polygon Labs, an international software development company, have announced a new collaboration. The partnership focuses on advancing blockchain innovation by developing international disclosure standards. These standards aim to ensure transparency, security, and trust within the Web3 and broader blockchain ecosystem.
This initiative builds on ADGM’s pioneering Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) Foundations Regulations—the first of its kind globally—to create a robust framework for Blockchain Foundations and Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs). The partnership aligns with ADGM’s vision of positioning Abu Dhabi as a global hub for technology-driven financial services, setting new standards for regulatory clarity and fostering innovation in the blockchain space.
Hamad Al Mazrouei, CEO of ADGM Registration Authority, stated: “Our collaboration with Polygon Labs underscores ADGM’s commitment to shaping the future of blockchain through innovation and regulatory leadership. By establishing a standardized approach to disclosures in the blockchain industry, we aim to promote transparency and build confidence in blockchain technologies while reinforcing Abu Dhabi and the UAE’s position as a hub for blockchain and Web3 innovation. We are excited to drive transformative change in the global blockchain landscape together.”
