ambcrypto.com reports that Avalanche has secured a partnership with UAE PASS, the official digital identity program for the United Arab Emirates. This collaboration leverages Avalanche's blockchain infrastructure to verify over 12 million registered users of the national service. The network will support the UAE PASS Digital Vault by generating cryptographic hashes for government documents stored on-chain.
These on-chain records confirm document authenticity without exposing sensitive personal data, which remains off-chain. Users can safely store and transfer verified documents, with blockchain verification ensuring they have not been altered. This setup allows Avalanche to provide a verification layer for everyday digital services without requiring users to hold cryptocurrency.
The deal positions Avalanche as a practical component of a national system used by citizens, residents, and visitors. This move complements existing institutional partnerships, such as the collaboration with Japan's tokenization firm Progmat. The UAE rollout serves as a major reference case for institutional adoption, demonstrating how blockchain fits into public services. Broader acceptance depends on further deployment by government and private sector entities across their digital platforms.
