Marhaba: A muslim-also Shariah DeFi Ecosystem That Serve As The Brigde Between Muslim And The Blockchain

in #cryptocurrency3 years ago (edited)

The speculative nature of cryptocurrencies has triggered debates among many Muslim scholars. The result of some was that cryptocurrency is religiously permissible.

According to many scholars, It was concluded that cryptocurrency is permissible and halal under Islamic Sharia law. These alone have unlocked the crypto investment market to the global Muslim audience with the increasing number of interested Muslims wanting to use crypto as a form of currency.

This made a global start-up company that was founded a few years ago to issue a gold-backed cryptocurrency and part of the effort is to convince Muslims that investing in cryptocurrencies complies with faith. The global surge of interest in bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies extends to Southeast Asia and the Gulf which are the main Centre of Islamic finance.

Cryptocurrency is a virtual currency and we can call it a digital asset based on blockchain technology. A decentralized network. Due to this, the cryptocurrency can't be hacked, cheated, or duplicated. The fact that it is safe, efficient, and undeletable makes it a top-notch consideration when analyzing halal transactions.

CRYPTO-ASSET DOWNSIDE

As the current decentralized finance and crypto-space continue to expand, thee are still some limitations to two billion-plus Muslims. Many Muslims are still considering the 'wait and see' mindset due to the volatility of the cryptocurrencies, most Islamic economies have missed out on the benefit of the decentralized finance market because of the low adoption of cryptocurrencies in many Muslim countries.

maOver a billion people have been excluded from using decentralized finance due to reasons related to complexity, faith, and access. There is confirmation from different scholars about the eligibility of crypto-verse to the Islamic faith but there are still some vices that are being frowned against, This is because it was believed that the current Defi protocol platform available creates a halal and ethical ecosystem but some still have outright interest base and others are not shariah-screened. This is why some are still considering their option before engaging in cryptocurrencies.
Another challenge is the lack or lower level of financial literacy. This further makes it impossible for people to want to invest in cryptocurrency. 'Access' also plays its role. Lack of crypto knowledge is preventing a large population of people to involve in crypto.

Complexity is another hard nut to crack in crypto-asset challenges. it is not viewed as a simple ecosystem but rather a complex one. Even though in the years to come, the digital asset is speculated to replace fiat currency, only 3% of the global population understand fully well what it means to invest in crypto. The risk and complexity create a large barrier to market participation, hence scaring away the majority of the world's active population.

MARHABA SOLUTION

Marhaba protocol has introduced a governance model. This is to ensure an ideal set halal and inclusive vision. Marhaba implemented a governance board. This is a group of individuals with both institutional, finance crypto, and shariah background and also ethics to ensure the full development of Islam –also the crypto economy.

The Marhaba governance model is divided into three categories:
Marhaba Governance Board(MGB)
Shariah Compliance Board(SGB)
Marhaba Community of stakeholder(MCS)

Before any product can be released to the Marhaba ecosystem, there has to be an agreement between SGB and MGB. So this makes Marhaba a unique ecosystem suitable for the audience with faith-freak. No haram product is available.
Marhaba built a trusted halal ecosystem making it easy for Muslims to be crypto users.
