The ADI Foundation has partnered with M-Pesa to implement blockchain infrastructure across eight African markets where M-Pesa operates. This collaboration focuses on deploying ADI Chain, a regulatory-focused blockchain network, primarily for institutional use cases rather than direct consumer interaction.

• The partnership aims to introduce blockchain capabilities for behind-the-scenes improvements, such as cross-border settlement and SME payments.
• Key organizations involved are the ADI Foundation and M-Pesa, which is active in countries including Kenya, DRC, Egypt, and Ethiopia.
• The initiative is an infrastructure-level collaboration, with blockchain serving as an underlying layer to enhance efficiency and compliance within existing mobile money systems, without directly involving M-Pesa users in blockchain or cryptocurrencies.
