UAE's National Digital Identity Platform Migrates to Avalanche Blockchain
The UAE's national digital identity platform, UAEPASS, is migrating its blockchain layer to Avalanche. This move will strengthen scalability and performance for continued growth in digital identity and verifiable documents across the country.
UAEPASS serves 12.5 million people, providing access to over 15,000 services through more than 350 government and private-sector entities. The Digital Vault, a component of the platform, handles verified documents, allowing users to request credentials, hold them, and share them with institutions that need to confirm their authenticity.
Avalanche is upgrading the blockchain layer to support continued growth in digital identity and verifiable documents. This migration adds to institutional interest in the network, including Charles Schwab's plan to add Avalanche spot trading.
