Exponential Science Foundation

Exponential Science Foundation is a Dubai-based non-profit organization that advances the convergence of blockchain, artificial intelligence, and other deep technologies to address complex multidisciplinary challenges. The entity fosters collaboration across academia, industry, and government by developing regulatory and technological frameworks such as the MiCA Crypto Alliance. Supported by institutional partners and leading technology companies including Hedera, the foundation operates a dedicated research department exploring central bank digital currencies, quantum computing, and Web3 applications. The organization's leadership board includes former executives from the Bank of Canada and the UCL Centre for Blockchain Technologies, bringing academic rigor backed by over 70 peer-reviewed publications and 4,000 citations. Evolving from the DLT Science Foundation following its announcement at the 10th annual P2P Financial Systems International Workshop, Exponential Science Foundation was founded in 2024 by Dr. Paolo Tasca and Nikhil Vadgama.
