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

Founded in 2018, Zignaly has served over 500,000 users and is now extending its investment-focused capabilities to Web3 through ZIGChain.

Meyers Manx and Tuthill Debut the LFG at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering
A new era in luxury off-road adventure, launching with six years of curated global driving experiences MONTEREY, Calif., Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At the prestigious The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering during Monterey Car Week, Meyers Manx, the legendary creator of the original fiberglass dune buggy, and world-renowned rally specialists Tuthill unveiled the LFG, a limited-production off-road performance machine set to redefine the spirit of recreational driving. Only 100 examples of the LFG will be built, each offering owners exclusive access to six years of meticulously planned driving adventures across the globe. The journey begins in 2027 with the inaugural LFG Baja Tour, marking the 50th anniversary of Meyers Manx's historic victory in the first Mexican 1000 (now the Baja 1000). Designed for those who crave both comfort and capability, the LFG merges cutting-edge engineering with a playful, adventurous spirit. Underneath its carbon fiber body and ROPS (Roll Over Protection Structure) lies a choice of high-performance engines — including a 4-valve variant derived from Tuthill's celebrated "K" — paired with a six-speed sequential gearbox and 4WD featuring front, center, and rear limited-slip differentials. Twin five-way adjustable dampers with hydraulic bump stops, and BF Goodrich All-Terrain tyres ensure the LFG is equally at home crossing desert dunes or carving through rugged mountain trails. Inside, a bespoke, climate-controlled cabin offers comfort on long hauls, while an Inconel exhaust, integrated GPS, and long-range fuel tank prepare the vehicle for journeys well beyond the beaten path. In moments, the enclosed cockpit can transform into an open-air buggy, letting drivers and passengers fully embrace the elements. "This project started as a dream between my long-time pal Richard and me, both in constant pursuit of the ultimate expression of freedom and performance," said Phillip Sarofim, Founder and CEO of Trousdale Ventures and Chairman of the Board at Meyers Manx. "We imagined the perfect Meyers Manx, brought Freeman Thomas on board to infuse his design brilliance, and merged it with Tuthill's engineering mastery. The result is raw, visceral, novel, and totally uncompromising. We call it LFG for a reason." "It's fairly well known that I love experiences, I love the effect it has on those that join us wherever we go," said Richard Tuthill, Director at Tuthill. "This, however, is slightly different. We are not necessarily bringing the stopwatch with us on these trips. I want to take people to see the most amazing parts of the world. I have been super lucky to see some life-changing scenery whilst Rallying, the memories I have as a result are immeasurable. These things change you. I think for the better. We crave experiences that we can look back on for the rest of our lives. We now have an amazing car to help us to create these in a unique way. The car looks fun, mischievous, it has a character that I have genuinely never seen or felt. BUT underneath it's PROPER – could we go to the moon and back in it? Probably yes, it has the capability to go wherever we point it, and we can do it safely and comfortably. In 2 minutes, it transforms from a fully air-conditioned enclosed cabin to a doorless buggy where the wind provides the air that helps us smile. It's very special. I can't wait to get started, please join in – LFG." More details, images, and specifications are available online.
