Sources: 7. Developments: 2. The United Arab Emirates is upgrading its national digital identity platform, UAE PASS, by migrating its ‘Digital Vault’ infrastructure to a dedicated Avalanche L1 blockchain. Announced by the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), the project involves partnerships with consultancy firm Deca4 and Ava Labs to ensure operational sovereignty and processing stability for over 12.5 million users and 350 institutions. The integration utilizes a dedicated blockchain to facilitate faster and more secure document verification. This allows users to securely store, request, and share verified government documents, such as trade licenses or academic certificates, by using blockchain records to confirm authenticity without placing personal data directly on the chain. Ava Labs has characterized the integration as ‘one of the largest real-world, nation-state use cases for public blockchain infrastructure to date.’ ## Timeline ### 2026-09-14: UAE integrates Avalanche blockchain into UAE PASS digital identity platform The UAE is integrating Avalanche blockchain technology into its UAE PASS digital identity platform to enhance the security and speed of its Digital Vault, which serves over 12.5 million users. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/uae-integrates-avalanche-blockchain-into-uae-pass-digital-identity-platform ### 2026-09-13: UAE, Grayscale, and SWIFT advance blockchain integration UAE migrates national digital ID to Avalanche L1; Grayscale seeks Litecoin ETF conversion via SEC filing; and Singaporean banks successfully test SWIFT-based tokenized deposit transactions. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/uae-grayscale-and-swift-advance-blockchain-integration --- Cite as: UAE digital identity blockchain integration.
