ZIGChain Summit 2025 Reveals Shariah RWA Platform, $25M AI Fund, and June Mainnet Launch
Introducing Zamanat: The World's First Shariah-Compliant RWA Tokenization Platform on ZIGChain
Perhaps, the summit's most consequential announcement was the unveiling of Zamanat, a Shariah-compliant platform designed to tokenize real-world assets (RWAs) by Disrupt.com – a leading venture builder and investment firm in MENA. By building Zamanat on ZigChain, Disrupt.com aims to democratize investments and access to wealth creation by adhering to values of ethical investing and transparency in order to power financial inclusion.
Facilitating access to tokenized real-world assets, Zamanat empowers wealth managers and investors within the ZIGChain ecosystem to participate in previously inaccessible investment opportunities such as real estate, Sukuks, private credit, invoice factoring, commodities, and other tangible assets.
Zamanat's introduction is timely, aligning with the UAE Government's strategic vision to become a global hub for digital assets and Islamic finance. The UAE has been proactive in integrating blockchain technology into its financial and governance infrastructure, evident from initiatives like the Dubai Land Department's sandbox for tokenized real estate transactions.
Empowering Builders: $25mn DeFAI Fund
As the Summit unfolded, another major highlight was the launch of the $25mn DeFAI fund by ZIGLabs, Disrupt.com & DWF Labs. The initiative aims to develop innovative solutions that integrate artificial intelligence with blockchain technology, with a focus on advancing financial services, decentralized asset management, and digital wealth strategies.
This fund comes on top of the $100mn ecosystem fund that was announced in April 2024 by ZIGLabs & the roll out of various builder support programs (labelled 'Kickstart') also emanating from the ZIGChain Summit,
With this kind of support available, it is no wonder that ZIGChain, despite being in test-net, was able to put up a huge ecosystem showcase spanning so many builders. With a go-live date now clear, these support and incentive mechanisms are set to supercharge building in the ecosystem in the months to come.
The countdown to ZIGChain's mainnet begins
With a mainnet launch date set for 25th June 2025, ZIGChain seems to have positioned itself as a blockchain ready for retail onboarding. The Summit highlighted this operational readiness with more than 10 teams already building dApps and protocols natively on ZIGChain flanked by more than a dozen partners looking to integrate. Notable amongst them are Oroswap, an AI powered conversational DEX, Permapod, a lending protocol that accepts RWAs as collateral, and Nawa Finance, a sharia compliant DeFi aggregator that has recently onboarded Amanie as Sharia Advisors.
While the decentralized applications (dApps) represent new technological developments, the community supporting them remains well-established. Zignaly, with its 1mn + users is expected to be the flagship wealth management protocol on the blockchain and be a source of early liquidity. This is what is makes the ecosystem attractive even from an institutional perspective with the likes of Disrupt.com (one of the largest venture builders in the MENA region), DWF Labs (the leading venture fund in the Web3 Space) and PureVPN (leading cybersecurity company in the world) who have come to the fore with proposed investments in the validator set and the ecosystem as a whole.
Notably, the ZIGChain Summit had a strong TradFi attendance with some of the leading figures of the UAE & Global financial landscape in attendance. With the recent announcement of UAE based Real Estate developer Ellington Properties exploring real estate tokenization with ZigChain, institutional interest is clearly evident from the outset.
All Roads Lead To The Wealth Management Engine
While these announcements and initiatives are exciting, the real differentiator is what ZIGChain is doing at a technology level with its wealth management engine - a modular investment management tech stack that shall enable anyone to launch a wealth creation protocol on ZIGChain and manage funds for other investors using CeFI, DeFi, or RWA opportunities.
The technology is designed to streamline the investment process by minimizing complexity, including time, skill, and knowledge barriers, thereby facilitating financial intermediation and broader global access via blockchain infrastructure.
This has been the vision of the core founding team behind ZIGChain since 2018 - when they started Zignaly, that is, how do users onramp a global majority that is disadvantaged from an income, knowledge or domicile perspective when it comes to wealth generation opportunities. That effort has led to a 1mn + strong community on Zignaly - the target for ZIGChain, the founders say, is everyone.
About ZigChain
ZIGChain is a Layer 1 blockchain built for wealth generation, powered by Zignaly's established social investment infrastructure, to create scalable, compliant, and efficient solutions for digital asset management. Founded in 2018, Zignaly has served over 500,000 users and is now extending its investment-focused capabilities to Web3 through ZIGChain.

Top Construction Service in Georgia for Your Next Project
As Georgia continues to experience growth in both residential and commercial sectors, the demand for reliable and professional construction service in Georgia is higher than ever. From new home builds to office expansions, construction is the foundation of progress and development across the state. Choosing the right construction team is vital for ensuring that your investment pays off in safety, style, and long-term value. Whether you're a homeowner planning a dream renovation or a business owner aiming to expand operations, working with an expert construction provider can make or break your project. Tea J Construction is one of the trusted names providing high-quality services across Georgia. Their commitment to excellence, combined with years of industry experience, positions them as a dependable partner for projects of any scale. The construction landscape in Georgia is as diverse as its geography. From urban high-rises in Atlanta to rural homes in southern counties, the needs vary drastically. That's why having a versatile and experienced construction company matters. Reliable construction service in Georgia should offer: Understanding of regional building codes Adaptability to climate-specific construction methods Local permit and inspection knowledge Skilled labor tailored to urban, suburban, and rural settings Tea J Construction brings this local expertise to every job, ensuring projects are built strong, safe, and compliant with Georgia's standards. When it comes to home construction, the details matter. Building a house isn't just about four walls and a roof—it's about creating a space where families thrive. A full-service residential construction provider handles everything from ground-up new builds to room additions and complete remodels. Key services include: Custom home construction Kitchen and bathroom renovations Basement and attic conversions Deck and patio installations Homeowners seeking a construction service in Georgia should look for companies that listen, plan, and execute their vision with precision. Commercial projects require more than just craftsmanship—they demand strategic planning and time-sensitive execution. Whether it's a retail shop, office building, or hospitality space, your construction partner must handle scale, complexity, and compliance seamlessly. Services often provided include: New commercial structures Tenant build-outs Interior redesigns ADA-compliant upgrades Tea J Construction's reputation for managing commercial jobs on schedule and within budget makes them a standout choice in Georgia's competitive construction market. Not every project starts from scratch. Many property owners look for a construction service in Georgia to refresh, restore, or modernize their current space. Renovation services enhance both function and appearance, often increasing the property's resale value. Popular renovation requests include: Whole-house makeovers Structural modifications Energy-efficient upgrades Interior and exterior revamps Tea J Construction is known for attention to detail, ensuring that every renovation maintains structural integrity while adding aesthetic appeal. Each state has its own regulatory environment, climate considerations, and architectural trends. Georgia's humid subtropical weather affects materials, foundation design, and building techniques. Hiring a local provider of construction service in Georgia ensures: Compliance with state and municipal building codes Use of region-appropriate materials Awareness of local environmental and zoning laws Faster permit approvals due to established relationships Contractors with local experience understand the specific needs of Georgian homeowners and businesses, allowing them to deliver safer and more durable results. Not all companies offering construction service in Georgia deliver the same level of quality. Before committing to a contractor, evaluate them based on these key characteristics: A legitimate construction company should be fully licensed in the state of Georgia and carry insurance for both liability and worker safety. This protects both you and the crew working on your property. Avoid vague estimates. A trustworthy construction partner provides detailed, transparent, and written quotes that outline labor, materials, and project timelines. From blueprint to final inspection, project management is what ensures everything flows smoothly. The best companies employ skilled managers who coordinate contractors, suppliers, and inspections with precision. Good communication prevents delays and ensures your vision is properly executed. Your construction team should offer updates, respond quickly to questions, and keep you in the loop. Selecting a contractor isn't just about price. It's about trust, skill, and compatibility with your project goals. A reputable construction company will gladly share a portfolio and client references. This helps you understand their strengths and quality of work. Sites like Google and Houzz can reveal a lot about a company's reputation. Look for consistent praise around punctuality, quality, and professionalism. Ask for a realistic project schedule, including major milestones and estimated completion. Good contractors don't overpromise—they deliver. Today's construction service in Georgia is powered by advanced tools and technology. Top-tier companies integrate modern techniques that enhance accuracy and reduce waste. Examples include: 3D modeling and CAD software Drone surveying for site evaluation Project management apps for tracking Smart energy solutions and automation These tools lead to faster timelines, better collaboration, and increased client satisfaction. Many Georgians are choosing to renovate instead of relocate. Rising real estate prices and increased equity in older homes make remodeling an attractive investment. Popular upgrades include: Energy-efficient windows and insulation Open concept living spaces Luxury kitchen remodels Outdoor living expansions Choosing a local construction service in Georgia for your renovation ensures you get personalized recommendations that suit both your home and the climate. Green building practices are becoming a necessity rather than a luxury. Forward-thinking construction companies incorporate environmentally responsible options such as: Solar panel installation Water-saving fixtures Recycled or low-impact materials Efficient HVAC systems Tea J Construction embraces sustainable practices to help clients lower their energy bills and reduce environmental impact while staying within budget. While Georgia offers a thriving market for construction, it's not without challenges. Reputable contractors overcome issues like: Skilled labor shortages Material price volatility Regulatory delays Weather disruptions An experienced company plans ahead, sources reliable vendors, and employs contingency strategies to manage these factors efficiently. Though many businesses operate in the construction space, Tea J Construction has earned its place through consistent quality, transparent operations, and a dedication to customer satisfaction. Their balanced expertise in both residential and commercial construction, combined with a community-focused approach, has made them a go-to choice for those seeking trustworthy construction service in Georgia. Choosing the right company for your construction needs comes with major advantages: Customized designs and planning Access to quality materials at competitive rates On-time project delivery Ongoing post-construction support Stress-free permit handling All of these features ensure your construction experience is as smooth and rewarding as possible. Looking ahead, the future is bright for Georgia's construction sector. Trends indicate a strong shift toward: Modular and prefabricated structures Net-zero energy buildings Smart home technology integration Mixed-use urban development Forward-looking companies like Tea J Construction are staying ahead of the curve by continuously evolving their services and training their teams in cutting-edge methods.
