Blockchain Architecture
Understand how the Caiz blockchain is structured using a hybrid model combining decentralization, Sharia-compliance, and IFBA governance.
Caiz Chain is built as a hybrid decentralized-centralized (DeCe) blockchain designed for secure, compliant, and Sharia-aligned financial operations. It integrates conventional blockchain benefits like transparency and immutability with unique layers of compliance and ethical governance.
Key Components
| Layer | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Consensus Layer (IFBA) | Ensures ethical, secure validation through a federated governance model |
| Compliance Layer | Embeds Sharia screening and real-time KYB enforcement |
| Execution Layer | Processes smart contracts, stablecoins, and token transfers |
| Node Layer | Operated by verified validators and scholars for governance |
| User Layer | Interfaces through Caiz Wallet, App, APIs, and Ecosystem DApps |
Hybrid Architecture (DeCe Model)
Caiz operates as a DeCe (Decentralized–Centralized) blockchain to ensure:
- Transparency and immutability from decentralized infrastructure
- Legal and Sharia compliance through permissioned governance
- Trusted validators who must undergo strict KYB checks
- Modular flexibility for private and public dApps
IFBA Consensus Mechanism
Caiz uses the Islamic Federated Byzantine Agreement (IFBA) — a proprietary adaptation of FBA (used in Stellar) that incorporates Sharia-compliant validation rules.
Key Properties
- Ethical validation rules embedded
- Validators must be approved entities
- Compliance quorum includes Sharia scholars
- No anonymous nodes or speculative logic allowed
Smart Contract & Token Layer
Smart contracts are deployed after:
- Passing technical review
- Meeting Sharia guidelines
- Signing governance agreements
All tokens (including Caiz Coin and Caiz Stable) must:
- Be backed by real assets or clear use cases
- Avoid riba, speculation, and ambiguity
- Support auditability by the community and scholars

Governance Nodes
Governance nodes include:
- Scholarly Committees
- Regulatory Advisors
- Technical Oversight Panels
They are responsible for:
- Approving validator inclusion
- Maintaining compliance scorecards
- Overseeing smart contract appeals
Summary
Caiz Blockchain is:
- Permissioned, yet transparent
- Ethical by design
- Modular and scalable
- Built for Web3 and real-world adoption
This hybrid model brings together the power of decentralization with the clarity of faith-based regulation.
