About HAQQ
HAQQ is an ethics-first Layer 1 (L1) blockchain that focuses on sustainability and brings together developers, validators, open-source contributors, and Muslim innovators in sustainable finance. At the core of HAQQ’s ecosystem is its native asset, Islamic Coin. The platform is built using the Cosmos SDK, which allows for the seamless deployment of smart contracts from other EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) chains, making it compatible with existing Ethereum-based projects.

The primary goal of HAQQ is to create a fairer and more sustainable financial system, and it achieves this by striking a balance between Shariah-compliant principles and cutting-edge blockchain technology. One of the innovative features of HAQQ is its Shariah Oracle, which serves as an on-chain registry of Halal Certificates. These certificates assure compliance with Islamic principles, ensuring that the activities and transactions on the network align with Shariah-compliant guidelines.
To maintain ethical standards within the network, HAQQ ensures that its users can only interact with whitelisted Shariah-compliant decentralized applications (dApps). This restriction minimizes the chances of unethical or Haram (forbidden in Islam) activities taking place within the platform, promoting a more virtuous and principled blockchain ecosystem.
By combining the principles of sustainability, Shariah-compliance, and advanced blockchain technology, HAQQ aims to provide a reliable and inclusive financial infrastructure for users seeking ethical and sustainable solutions in the blockchain space.
