Agile Dynamics to architect quantum-resistant blockchain infrastructure for Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi has announced a landmark new initiative aimed at developing a sovereign, quantum-resistant blockchain infrastructure. Agile Dynamics has been selected as the program’s strategic partner.

The transformative project quantum program is spearheaded by Abu Dhabi’s government with the threefold aim to redefine the emirate’s digital economy, accelerate its growth, and solidify its position as a global leader in next-generation technology adoption.

Quantum is considered as one of the most promising technologies that can enable ground-breaking advancements in business and society, with Abu Dhabi well positioned to tap into quantum’s potential on the back of its leadership in technological advancement and its strategic vision for a diversified, knowledge-based economy.

As part of the partnership with Agile Dynamics, the consulting firm will provide crucial expertise in blockchain strategy, decentralized trust models, and innovative tokenization frameworks. The collaboration will concentrate on three pivotal technical objectives, forming the bedrock of Abu Dhabi’s next-generation digital strategy:

Architecting a Sovereign, Quantum-Resistant EVM-Compatible Layer 1 Blockchain: This foundational layer will incorporate cutting-edge post-quantum cryptographic primitives, ensuring enduring security and resilience against future computational threats, safeguarding the nation’s digital assets and critical data for decades to come.

Creating an Integrated DeFi Framework: This framework will unlock new financial paradigms, aiming to streamline international trade finance through transparent and instantaneous settlements, and foster innovation in financial services.

Assessing the Feasibility of an Institutional-Grade Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) as-a-Service Tokenization Ecosystem: This will explore novel mechanisms for attracting and managing investment, further bolstering Abu Dhabi’s economic dynamism.

Paul Lalovich, Managing Partner at Agile Dynamics, emphasized the profound technical significance of the initiative: “Abu Dhabi is not merely implementing a blockchain strategy; it is architecting a complete, future-proof trust infrastructure stack. Our design will integrate post-quantum cryptographic primitives, embed protocol-level regulatory compliance, and champion cross-chain interoperability standards.”

“This will create a resilient foundation for both domestic applications and a new era of international digital trade, positioning Abu Dhabi’s infrastructure as a blueprint for decentralized trust that can serve as a global benchmark.”

The Agile Dynamics team brings specialized expertise in the domain to the engagement, led by leaders and blockchain experts Paul Lalovich (blockchain business architectures), Ema Vukovic (blockchain business architectures), Yilmaz Yadırgı (tokenization frameworks), Philipp Kishkovarov (AI-blockchain integration), and Nikola Mandic (blockchain ecosystem architect).

They are steered by affiliate expert partners Henrik von Scheel (digital economy design), Srđan Vukmirović (quantum-resistant cryptography), and Darko Capko (blockchain technology architecture).

With this initiative from Abu Dhabi’s government, the UAE capital city’s journey towards a decentralized future is underway, set to unlock unprecedented opportunities for innovation, economic growth, and enhanced public services. “Building this next-generation infrastructure initiative marks a pivotal step in shaping a more secure, efficient, and trusted digital world,” said Lalovich.
