[{"type":"text","content":"ADYA Invests in National Sovereignty: Karrier One to Build Canada’s First SCION-Encrypted Decentralized Network Including Arctic Deployments\n\n\n\n\n\n\n ADYA Inc. (TSX-V: ADYA; OTCQB: ADYIF), a publicly traded Canadian telecom and technology holding company, today announced a strategic investment in Karrier One, a decentralized wireless (DePIN) infrastructure provider built on the Sui blockchain, that will serve as the foundational backbone for SCION-encrypted, sovereign Internet connectivity across Canada, including in the Arctic territories, where national defence, privacy, and resilience have become critical.\n \n\n With geopolitical tensions and cybersecurity concerns on the rise, sovereign Internet infrastructure is no longer optional; it is imperative.
