IBF Net launches Shariah-compliant metaverse on the Algorand blockchain

IBF Net has launched Netverse (www.ntvr.se), the world’s first metaverse on the Algorand blockchain, which is also the world’s first Shariah-compliant metaverse on any blockchain. Netverse is expected to be a major contributor to the digitalization move in the Islamic world.

Netverse is unique in many ways. Beyond fun and social interaction, Netverse will contribute to social good, through its Netversity project that offers a wide range of courses that can be pursued by anyone, anywhere.

Mohammed Alim, CEO of IBF Net Group said that IBF Net has also been focused on organic growth in the membership of its IBFNex (www.ibfnex.io) network, a portfolio of platforms on the blockchain catering to the philanthropy, non-profit, and for-profit sectors that make up a miniature Islamic economy. IBFNex will now reside inside the Netverse too. “The network has experienced a growth in membership of over 600 percent during the last two years after hovering around 5k for a long period and is on track to cross the threshold of 50k (fifty thousand) by mid-2023”, said Alim.

To further democratise its efforts, IBF Net is in the process of setting up a Governance Council (www.ibfnet.group/community) comprising early movers from the academic world, professionals, and Shariah scholars from the Islamic financial services industry. Dr. Mohammed Obaidullah, as Founder of IBF Net Group, added that this invitation is open to all people.

Once the targeted 50k membership is reached, IBF Net will initiate a transparent online process through which members will elect Commissioners to various Panels dedicated to specific components of the IBF ecosystem, such as commercial banking, insurance, investment banking, zakat, awqaf, non-profits, development finance, and cross-cutting areas like Shariah governance, regulation, and technology. These Commissioners will play an important role in the programs and activities aimed at learning and promotion, including seminars, workshops, conferences, publications, awards, and scholarships in partnership with universities and corporates.

“We are excited to see the positive impact that Netverse will have on the IBF ecosystem in the Islamic world and beyond. Join us as we pave the way for a more inclusive, democratised, and socially conscious digital future”, concluded Dr. Obaid.
