ADI Foundation Partners With The Vault to Advance Institutional Crypto Custody and Quantum-Resistant Security
The partnership combines institutional custody infrastructure, According to the partnership announcement, multi-party computation (MPC) technology, and post-quantum cryptography research. Its initial integration will support the ADI token and DDSC, a UAE dirham-backed stablecoin issued on ADI Chain.
ADI Chain Integration to Support Institutional Digital Asset Custody
Under the agreement, The Vault will incorporate ADI Chain into its institutional custody platform, allowing financial institutions to manage supported digital assets through its infrastructure.
The planned integration will provide transaction authorization controls and multi-party computation technology. The Vault will also make its proprietary MPC technology available to ADI Foundation, distributing transaction-signing authority across multiple parties rather than relying on a single device.
This security architecture is designed to reduce dependence on individual devices while introducing shared authorization requirements for transactions. The approach is intended to strengthen the protection of institutional digital assets and their transaction processes.
The Vault's cryptographic library has also undergone an independent review by cybersecurity firm Halborn, providing an external assessment of its security architecture.
The Vault and ADI Foundation Explore Quantum-Resistant Wallet Security
Beyond the custody integration, the partnership will focus on cryptographic security challenges associated with the potential development of quantum computing.
The Vault will lead research into quantum-resistant signing technology for MPC wallets, building on the ML-DSA standard published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The research is intended to explore ways of strengthening digital asset security against potential future quantum computing threats.
ADI Foundation will contribute technical expertise to assess how these capabilities could be incorporated into ADI Chain's infrastructure. Both organizations aim to develop security approaches that support the long-term protection of institutional digital assets as financial services increasingly adopt blockchain technology.
ADI Foundation CEO Andrey Lazorenko emphasized the importance of custody infrastructure for institutional participation in blockchain-based finance.
“Secure custody is a fundamental requirement for bringing institutional finance on-chain,” Lazorenko stated.
The Vault CEO Artem Stopnevich also highlighted the importance of preparing custody infrastructure for emerging technological challenges.
“Our post-quantum research with ADI Foundation is how we intend to prepare for the challenges of the quantum era,” Stopnevich stated.
Joint Working Group to Coordinate Integration and Research
ADI Foundation and The Vault plan to establish a joint working group to coordinate the custody integration timeline and develop a roadmap for their post-quantum research initiatives.
The collaboration will also cover technical research, industry engagement, and ecosystem development activities intended to encourage institutional adoption of ADI Chain.
Both organizations expect to provide additional updates as the partnership progresses, including implementation priorities and developments involving quantum-resistant security technology.
The initiative brings together institutional custody services and advanced cryptographic research, with an initial focus on supporting the ADI token and DDSC stablecoin within ADI Chain's digital asset ecosystem.
