Scorechain now supports ADI Chain. As of September 2, 2026, compliance teams can screen addresses, monitor transactions, and assess AML risk on the chain using the same Digital Asset Intelligence engine they already run across Scorechain's coverage. If you are preparing to handle dirham-backed stablecoin and tokenized real-world asset flows, ADI Chain compliance is now part of the stack. No new tooling, and no change to how your analysts work.
The rest of this article explains what ADI Chain is, why a chain built for institutional stablecoins and real-world assets raises the compliance bar, how Scorechain screens activity on it, and how Digital Asset Intelligence extends that to the integrity of the tokens themselves.
ADI Chain is an institutional Layer-2 blockchain built for regulated finance. It is designed as settlement infrastructure for a UAE dirham-backed stablecoin and tokenized real-world assets, with a compliance-first stack aligned to KYC and AML controls. The network is maintained by the ADI Foundation, and its technical documentation is set out in the ADI Chain docs. For a compliance team, the relevant point is not the corporate structure behind it but the kind of value that settles on it.
This is not a retail-first DeFi network. ADI Chain is built for institutional use, which shapes the activity that settles on it: stablecoin payments, cross-border rails, and real-estate and other RWA tokenization rather than speculative retail trading. That distinction is what matters to an analyst. The counterparties are institutional, the value moved is large, and the regulatory scrutiny is closer to that of a payment network than a memecoin venue.
A chain purpose-built for stablecoins and tokenized assets carries regulated flows from day one, which is exactly the activity supervisors expect firms to monitor. Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) and Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) touching ADI Chain will need to screen it under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Travel Rule, and, for UAE-facing business, the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) framework.
The compliance weight sits in the nature of the assets. Dirham-backed stablecoin corridors move value at institutional scale across borders, which is precisely the profile that draws sanctions and money-laundering attention, and tokenized real-world assets add a second layer of obligation because the on-chain token represents an off-chain claim that has to be traced back to a legitimate source. Sanctions screening, source-of-funds checks, and indirect exposure analysis are not optional refinements here. They are the baseline for onboarding a counterparty and for monitoring it over the life of the relationship, and coverage of the chain is what lets a compliance team apply any of them at all. Without it, ADI Chain activity is a blind spot on the risk map.
With Scorechain, activity on ADI Chain is screened for AML risk, sanctions exposure, and indirect exposure through the same Know Your Transaction (KYT) and transaction monitoring engine that runs across Scorechain's supported blockchains. There is no separate product to buy and no separate console to learn. An ADI Chain address behaves in the platform the way an address on any other covered network does, which means a team can extend its existing policies and playbooks to the chain rather than writing new ones.
At the centre of that assessment is Scorechain's risk score. It runs from 0 to 100, and the direction is the point most people get wrong, so it is worth stating plainly: a lower score means higher risk. A wallet scoring near zero is the one that should stop an onboarding or trigger a review, not the one scoring near 100. Behind the single number sit 48 risk categories, the granular reasons a score moved, spanning exposure to sanctioned entities, darknet markets, scams, mixers, and other designated sources. Assessing risk before exposure occurs is what wallet screening is for, and for ADI Chain that categorisation is what turns a raw stablecoin or RWA transfer into something an analyst can act on: not just that risk is present, but what kind, and how close.
That granularity also changes how a policy can be written. Rather than a blunt accept-or-reject on a single threshold, a compliance team can tune its response to the category that fired: a hit tied to a sanctioned source is a hard stop, while exposure to a higher-risk but lawful counterparty might warrant enhanced due diligence and a documented rationale instead. On ADI Chain, where the same address might handle both routine institutional settlement and a flagged flow, that ability to distinguish the reason behind a score is what keeps monitoring proportionate rather than over-blocking legitimate business.
"On a chain built for stablecoin and RWA settlement, the risk is rarely the wallet in front of you. It is where the money has been. Scoring every ADI Chain address against the same 48 categories we apply everywhere else means an analyst gets the reason behind a flag, not just a number, and can act on it with an audit trail that holds up."
Pierre Gerard, CEO, Scorechain
Indirect exposure is where an institutional chain rewards a deeper tool. A direct check tells you who your counterparty is. Indirect, or multi-hop, exposure tells you where their funds have been, tracing risk that sits several transactions upstream or downstream of the address in front of you. On a chain moving dirham-backed stablecoins and tokenized assets between institutions, the risk is rarely the immediate counterparty. It is the entity two or three hops back that a single-hop check would never surface. Scorechain's graph and Flux Analysis follows those paths visually, so an analyst can see exposure that direct screening alone would miss, and evidence why a transaction was cleared or held.
A concrete case makes the difference clear. Say an institution receives a dirham-backed stablecoin payment from a counterparty whose ADI Chain wallet screens clean on a direct check, a high score, no immediate flags. Indirect analysis traces the funds two hops back to an address grouped with a sanctioned entity. A single-hop tool clears the payment; multi-hop exposure analysis holds it for review and gives the analyst the path to document why. On an institutional chain, that upstream link is the whole risk, and it is invisible without it.
Screening once at onboarding is not enough for this kind of activity, and regulators increasingly say so. A counterparty that was clean when a relationship began can become exposed later, through a single transaction with a newly designated entity or a chain of transfers that only resolves into a risk pattern over time. Ongoing transaction monitoring is what catches that shift, re-assessing activity as it settles rather than freezing a risk judgment at the moment of onboarding. For institutional stablecoin and RWA flows on ADI Chain, where relationships are long-lived and values are high, continuous monitoring is the difference between a control that looks good on paper and one that actually holds when an examiner tests it.
Screening addresses and monitoring transactions tells you about counterparties and transfers. On a chain built for stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets, there is a second question that matters just as much: is the asset itself sound? That is what Digital Asset Intelligence answers. Transaction monitoring tracks transfers between wallets; Digital Asset Intelligence evaluates the risk of the token itself, which is exactly the lens an institution needs before it lists, holds, or reports on a dirham-backed stablecoin or a tokenized RWA.
For ADI Chain assets, that view rests on four things an analyst can monitor:
Higher exposure to high-risk entities points to higher asset risk, and rising flow activity shows that risk is moving rather than sitting still. For a token or stablecoin issuer on ADI Chain, that is early warning: a chance to act on concentration or exposure before it becomes a headline. For an exchange or custodian, it is due diligence on the asset itself, not just the wallets touching it. It is the difference between monitoring transactions one at a time and understanding the health of the instrument they move.
The same asset-level view now applies to the tokens settling on ADI Chain. For a step-by-step walkthrough of how to screen a tokenized asset or stablecoin, from searching the Asset Directory to reading holder concentration and multi-chain exposure, see how to screen a tokenized asset or stablecoin for compliance risk.
Coverage on ADI Chain reflects the way the chain is actually used, spanning its native activity, the dirham-backed stablecoin, and the tokenized assets that settle on it, so that a compliance team is screening the flows that matter rather than a subset. Support is delivered through the same access methods Scorechain customers already use, which keeps ADI Chain consistent with the rest of a firm's monitoring rather than bolted on as an exception.
This coverage sits inside a wider footprint. Scorechain serves clients across the world in 50+ countries, covers more than 1 million crypto entities, runs over 1.5 million AML checks every day, and draws on more than 1 billion data points. For teams that work through an AI assistant or agent, the same intelligence is reachable through Scorechain MCP. As a European-native provider, Scorechain is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), which matters to regulated institutions that have to vet a vendor before it touches their data. That scale and posture are why adding a chain like ADI Chain is a routine extension of an existing methodology, not a fresh integration project. The labelling, the scoring model, and the category logic are already built. ADI Chain simply becomes another network they apply to.
In practice, screening ADI Chain matches the workflow analysts already know. A team enters an ADI Chain address or transaction, or sends it through the connection they use for the rest of their monitoring, and reads back a risk score and the categories behind it, remembering that a lower score signals higher risk. From there an analyst reviews indirect exposure to understand risk beyond the direct counterparty, and exports the result into the case management or reporting workflow that carries their audit trail. Nothing about the sequence is specific to ADI Chain, which is the intended outcome. Coverage should let a firm treat a new chain like any other, not force a detour.
The two checks answer different questions. This is the distinction that matters most when screening institutional stablecoin and RWA flows:
Adding ADI Chain extends Scorechain's coverage into sovereign and institutional infrastructure, alongside its existing breadth across blockchains and asset types. As more national-scale stablecoin and RWA chains come online, the compliance question stays the same: can your provider screen the assets and the networks your business actually touches, under one consistent risk methodology? Coverage breadth applied through a single model is what keeps a compliance programme coherent instead of fragmenting network by network, each with its own tool, its own scoring quirks, and its own gaps. A team that has to reconcile three different risk scales across three vendors is a team that will miss something.
For firms building toward the UAE's regulated digital-asset market, that coherence is the practical value. ADI Chain is one of the first sovereign-grade chains where institutional stablecoin and RWA activity will concentrate, and screening it under the same framework you already use for every other network means your MiCA, Travel Rule, and VARA obligations are met with the evidence trail examiners expect, not with a patchwork you have to explain.
ADI Chain is an institutional Layer-2 blockchain built for regulated finance, providing settlement infrastructure for a dirham-backed stablecoin and tokenized real-world assets, with a compliance-first design. For AML teams, the key point is that it carries institutional-scale stablecoin and RWA flows that need screening.
Scorechain's ADI Chain coverage went live on September 2, 2026.
Through Scorechain, yes. Addresses and transactions on ADI Chain can be screened for AML risk, sanctions exposure, and indirect exposure using Scorechain's KYT and transaction monitoring engine, with risk scored across 48 categories.
Enter an ADI Chain address or transaction into Scorechain, read the risk score and the categories behind it where a lower score means higher risk, review indirect exposure, and export the result into your compliance workflow.
Because it carries regulated, institutional-scale value across borders. Stablecoin corridors and tokenized assets fall under MiCA, the FATF Travel Rule, and local frameworks such as VARA, all of which require sanctions screening, risk scoring, and ongoing monitoring.
ADI Chain coverage is live now. If your business is preparing for dirham-backed stablecoin or RWA flows, you can start screening the chain today.
