What is ADI?
Adi is a blockchain-based protocol designed to support decentralized identity, data ownership, and digital credential systems. It provides infrastructure that enables users and applications to manage identity-related data in a secure and verifiable manner. The protocol facilitates interoperability between identity systems and supports trusted interactions across digital environments. Adi is used for applications such as authentication, credential verification, and decentralized data management.
What is ADI?
The native token of the protocol is ADI, which functions as the utility and governance token of the Adi ecosystem. ADI is used for governance, staking, and ecosystem participation, including facilitating transactions and incentivizing network activity. Holders may participate in governance decisions related to protocol upgrades and ecosystem initiatives. The token may also be used within supported applications as a medium of exchange and incentive mechanism. ADI is supported across multiple networks for interoperability. Wealthsimple supports the ERC-20 version of ADI, which is distinct from the native token. The token has a total supply of 999.99 million units, with approximately 51.14 million ADI currently in circulation at the time of this publication.
