UAE PASS national ID system serves 12M+ users on Avalanche

The United Arab Emirates has integrated Avalanche into UAE PASS, its national digital identity system serving 12M+ people — which Avalanche frames as the leading example of the network becoming government-grade infrastructure on an international scale. The UAE's TDRA is migrating the UAE PASS Digital Vault to a dedicated Avalanche L1 to secure digital IDs, giving citizens, residents, and visitors a way to verify identity and sign documents onchain.

• UAE PASS serves as the Emirates' single sign-on for government, banking, and everyday identity verification.
• John Nahas of the Avalanche team called Avalanche "the only technologically viable blockchain for UAEPass."
• The move positions Avalanche as the rails for a sovereign national identity system, spotlighted by the network and by CoinMarketCap.
