Overview
- Deca4 and Ava Labs said TDRA will supervise a project to integrate Avalanche technology into the UAEPASS Digital Vault, an announcement first made public on Monday, Sept. 14, 2026.
- The partners describe a verification model that uses blockchain-linked cryptographic records to check a document’s authenticity without storing personal document contents on a public chain.
- The announcement names Deca4 as the local implementer, Ava Labs as the infrastructure and technical partner, and TDRA as supervisor, but does not include a launch date, a rollout plan, or a list of first supported documents.
- Reporting across outlets notes a verification gap because no separate, detailed government documentation or technical architecture has been published to confirm Avalanche is the protocol now powering UAEPASS.
- UAEPASS already serves roughly 12–12.5 million users and connects to thousands of services, so confirmation or reversal could materially affect user trust, Avalanche’s institutional credibility, and how other governments view blockchain for public infrastructure.
