Developer Onboarding
Learn how to begin developing within the Caiz ecosystem, including ethical guidelines, network structure, and onboarding steps.
Welcome to the Caiz Developer Ecosystem, a permissioned, Sharia-compliant blockchain that blends ethics, decentralization, and innovation. This page helps you get onboarded as a developer so you can start building value-aligned applications within the Caiz framework. We’ve outlined everything you need to begin contributing effectively.
Caiz supports developers who prioritize transparency, compliance, and impact. Whether you're creating smart contracts, dApps, or integrated financial tools, the journey starts here.
What Makes Caiz Unique
-
Sharia-Compliant Protocols
Contracts must avoid riba (interest), gharar (ambiguity), maysir (speculation), and unethical industries. -
Permissioned Blockchain with IFBA
Caiz uses the Islamic Federated Byzantine Agreement, a consensus system aligned with Islamic governance. -
Integrated Zakat, Compliance & Auditing Tools
The chain includes built-in layers for transparent giving, ethical screening, and risk mitigation.
Onboarding Steps
1. Understand the Ecosystem
Start by reading the Caiz Whitepaper and Lightpaper.
Familiarize yourself with concepts like DeCe (Decentralized-Centralized hybrid model), IFBA, Caiz Coin, and Caiz Stable tokens.
2. Review Ethical Development Standards
All applications built on Caiz must follow Islamic financial principles:
- No interest-based models (riba)
- No gambling or speculative mechanics (maysir)
- No ambiguity or undefined outcomes (gharar)
- Avoidance of haram sectors (e.g., alcohol, pork, weapons)
Use our Sharia Certification Guide to assess compliance.
3. Explore Verified Use Cases
Understand existing use cases supported by the Caiz platform:
- Interest-free wallets with zakat tracking
- Stablecoin-based savings and remittance tools
- NFT tokenization of ethical real-world assets
- Climate action smart contracts for carbon offsetting
Explore how to structure your own project by aligning with these categories.
4. Prepare for Verification & Submission
Before going live on Caiz Chain:
- Document your project’s purpose and code logic
- Identify compliance flags in advance
- Submit your project for review via Submit a Project
You may also consult the Smart Contract Verification section for review criteria.
