The Solana Foundation and VARA (Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority) have partnered to bolster the development of a thriving Web3 ecosystem in Dubai. This strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlines several initiatives designed to foster collaboration between developers and regulators, including: talent-focused programs for blockchain professionals, crypto founder workshops, and collaborative data sharing to support evidence-based regulation, as well as dedicated support for a Solana Economic Zone within Dubai. This agreement marks another step in solidifying Dubai’s position as a global leader in the cryptocurrency industry. VARA’s reputation for clear, supportive policies on digital assets has been instrumental in attracting innovative projects like this.
