This has been registered as the first crypto foundation in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), with a license to operate a blockchain and issue utility tokens.
ADGM is the award-winning international financial center strategically located in the capital of the United Arab Emirates and is globally recognized as a hub for fintech and financial services innovation.
Venom blockchain is an asynchronous blockchain technology with dynamic sharding, using flexible nodes that adapt to traffic changes. This leap in blockchain technology delivers boundless scalability and higher security guarantees with decentralization.
The blockchain falls under the ambit of the Venom Foundation which innovates solutions in three core areas — Essential Infrastructure, Support of Inbound Projects, and Developer-friendly Platforms. In the MENA region, the Foundation is focusing on technology enabling corporations and governments to create easy and secure transitions into Web3, while managing large transaction flows without increasing lag or network fees.

Venom Foundation is offering B2B services to government authorities, developers and companies, helping them roll out solutions including NFT marketplaces, derivatives exchanges, fiat-backed stablecoins and much more.
Subject to the relevant regulatory approvals, Venom Foundation will work with ecosystem participants to ensure that such products are offered in a manner compliant with ADGM regulations.
