What is Islamic-Finance DeFi?

Islamic-finance DeFi applies the principles of Islamic finance to decentralised, on-chain financial products. It is designed around structures that avoid interest (riba) and excessive uncertainty, favouring profit-sharing, asset-backing, and transparency.

The core principles

Islamic finance is built on established structures: Mudarabah (profit-sharing), Murabaha (cost-plus financing), Musharakah (partnership), and Ijara (leasing). Each provides a way to structure financing and investment that aligns with Islamic principles, typically requiring that transactions be backed by real assets.

Why bring it on-chain

Blockchain's transparency and asset-backing map naturally onto Islamic finance principles. On-chain structures can make the backing of an instrument visible and verifiable, which supports the transparency these principles call for, and can widen access to a global audience.

SUPERBLOCK's approach

Rizq Finance is being designed around these principles, bringing Shariah-aligned, asset-backed structures on-chain. It is in development, and its products are described on a forward-looking basis.
