Enjinstarter’s AYA platform, a climate-focused launchpad that supports sustainable ideas, has been given a conditional license by Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) to provide services for crypto assets and investments.
The license, which was given on December 11, is conditional on the platform meeting certain requirements before it can start running. VARA made it clear that the license won’t work until Enjinstarter meets all of the remaining requirements and localization criteria set by the regulatory body.
Prakash Somosundram, co-founder and CEO of Enjinstarter and the AYA foundation, said that the company was committed to following VARA’s instructions. Enjinstarter has not yet replied to questions about the remaining legal requirements.
AYA is a climate-focused launchpad that works on green projects like planting trees, getting nature credits, protecting mangroves, and farming in a way that doesn’t harm the environment. AYA uses blockchain and Web3 infrastructure to help climate action projects, in addition to being a place to fund green projects.
While AYA works to meet VARA’s requirements for an operating license, they have announced that they will be working with The Storey Group, a company based in the UAE, to start a program to plant mangroves in Dubai. Vasseh Ahmed, managing director of Enjinstarter MENA, talked about how the company helps climate change efforts by working with unique projects in its main areas of focus and helping them come up with stories, raise money, and start their projects.
An interview with Deepa Raja Carbon, managing director and vice-chair at VARA, not long ago stressed the organization’s dedication to being flexible and working together. VARA wants to quickly and effectively meet the needs of the market by consulting and working together with leaders in the industry, developers, other regulators, and lawmakers. Carbon drew attention to the detailed rules that were made with the help of well-known organizations in Dubai, such as the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) and the Dubai Free Zones Council (DFZC).
These rules created a unified and adaptable structure that fits the needs and realities of the market.
