UAE Web3 Ecosystem

The wider UAE Web3 economy — dev studios, infrastructure, DeFi, NFT/gaming, advisory, market makers, and VCs. This is a separate directory from the VARA-licensed providers.

These firms are NOT VARA-licensed VASPs. Listing here means a firm is an ecosystem participant, not a licensed virtual-asset provider — and is not an endorsement. For licensed providers, see the VARA directory or check any name with Validate a Licence.
