# Our Motivation

The [crypto asset universe](https://medium.com/@SVasin/the-blockchain-ecosystem-v3-six-months-after-the-hype-ca14e9879001) is [growing exponentially](https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/cryptocurrency-market-report) day by day. This growth is however not available in [Shariah compliant](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/islamicbanking.asp) offerings.

This [Gap in the Market](https://online.bath.ac.uk/articles/how-do-you-spot-a-gap-in-the-market) has been identified by organisations like [Takadao](https://takadao.io/), [ZaynFi](https://zayn.fi/), [Marhaba DeFi](https://mrhb.network/) and [Cape Crypto](https://capecrypto.com/), amongst many other entities, and are working together to create a shariah compliant alternative to the more 'traditional' staking, lending and borrowing crypto Defi offerings.

 The objective of many shariah crypto projects is to create a safe ecosystem for a [global muslim population](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_world) numbering approximately 1.8 billion people
