Sharia RegTech · Digital assets
Amanah Alpha turns human-approved Sharia mandates into machine-readable controls — and verifies, event by event, that digital-asset products stay inside them.
Verifiable evidence that Sharia-governed digital-asset products operate within the mandates humans approved.
Built by the founding team behind EvidenceOS Finance — participating in the 28DIGITAL Venture Incubation Program (supported by EIT).
The problem
Sharia approval is static, but digital-asset markets never sleep.
Today, Sharia boards and investment committees can approve a digital-asset product before launch — but they cannot continuously verify whether the product remains within mandate once operations begin.
Which rules were actually approved?
Were strategies tested under the same approved mandate?
Did paper or live operations move outside mandate limits?
Did margin, lending, funding or interest-bearing balances appear?
Can records be proven without later modification?
Without continuous evidence, Sharia-governed digital-asset products rely on periodic human reviews while risks occur event by event.
The solution
A read-only assurance loop under the customer's own governance.
Amanah Alpha turns human-approved Sharia mandates into deterministic controls and continuously evaluates digital-asset product activity against them.
Amanah Alpha does not issue fatwas or manage assets — it proves how a product behaved against the mandate humans approved.
A Sharia advisor or investment committee defines the rules.
Rules become versioned, machine-readable controls.
Synthetic events are checked outside execution, in the demonstrator.
Ambiguous or incomplete cases are routed to human review.
State logs are cryptographically linked for tamper-evident auditing.
How it works
Initial deployment does not route trades or hold assets — it verifies what happened, under which mandate, and whether the record can be replayed.
A Sharia advisor or investment committee approves the product rules.
Rules are converted into versioned, machine-readable controls.
Orders, fills, fees, balances and venue data are mirrored from synthetic demo inputs; no live connectors exist yet.
Every event is designed to be classified by a deterministic, versioned rule set.
Mandate version, data snapshot, orders, fills, fees, balances and reviewer decisions are linked.
A human-readable Passport and machine-readable proof package are produced; hashes link the record.
Fail-safe by design: missing evidence, non-effective mandates or internal failures can never produce ALLOW.
Continuous means every new event, data update or mandate change is re-evaluated in the demonstrator's replay model.
Build status
Evidence and provenance infrastructure is being adapted into a focused Amanah Alpha demonstrator.
Synthetic sandbox data; no client assets or live execution systems are connected. The off-path design adds no latency to the client's execution path. Qatar discovery scope: tokenized fund units and sukuk.
Why Qatar
Amanah Alpha plans to establish under the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) — serving QFC Lab participants and regulated institutions first, with a long-term expansion path across the GCC.
Legal recognition of tokens as property, a tokenisation process and a licensing regime for token service providers — one of the region's clearest digital-asset rulebooks.
A dedicated digital-asset ecosystem in Doha, supported by the Qatar Central Bank, where companies build tokenisation and institutional digital-asset services.
A dedicated QFC single-family-office framework and active programmes with the family-office community make Qatar a natural home for Sharia-governed digital-asset governance.
English common law framework, independent courts, 100% foreign ownership, a 10% corporate tax rate with exemptions, and full profit repatriation.
QFC Lab participants and regulated institutions building tokenized products need Sharia governance that is continuous, evidenced and auditable. Amanah Alpha provides that assurance layer — from mandate codification to tamper-evident reporting for Sharia boards. Regulated digital-asset institutions follow, and GCC-wide expansion is the long-term path.

Digital-asset units that need evidence-backed Sharia governance for tokenisation projects and algorithmic strategies.
Competitive positioning
| Category | Examples | Core limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Sharia screening | Zoya, Islamicly, IdealRatings | Assesses assets, not strategy behaviour |
| Sharia advisory | Amanie, Shariyah Review Bureau | Strong expertise, but workflows remain mostly human and periodic |
| Crypto compliance | Chainalysis, Elliptic | Focused on AML and address risk |
| Generic investment compliance | Pre/post-trade institutional tools | No Sharia mandate or evidence-graph vertical |
Versioned rule packs + synthetic conformance corpus + embedded reviewer workflows + replayable evidence infrastructure. A policy engine or a blockchain hash alone is never a true moat — defensibility lies in the deep, continuous orchestration of the full lifecycle.
Business model
Your Sharia board's rules become a versioned mandate rule-pack — assets, leverage, lending, balances.
A synthetic demo review — no live connection, no custody, no changes to any execution path.
Every event is classified against the mandate; ambiguous cases flow through the human reviewer workflow.
An Evidence Passport, a replay bundle and findings your Sharia board can independently re-verify.
Annual hosted workspace and governance layer.
Licence tiers by mandates and workflows under assurance, and reviewer flows.
Separately scoped implementation, about 25% of the annual licence (hypothesis).
Pricing will be validated through design-partner discussions; the initial model combines annual platform licensing tiered by mandates and workflows, with separately scoped implementation. No transaction-volume fees, custody fees or Sharia-ruling-contingent compensation.
Core team
The founding team combines product, systems engineering and live operational expertise across financial-document validation, algorithmic trading and auditable digital-finance infrastructure.
The roles are defined; no formal advisory appointments have been made yet.
Validate mandate interpretation and reviewer independence.
Scope read-only assurance, controls and responsibility boundaries.
Validate buyer, workflow, pilot design and procurement path.
Review deployment, data access and production requirements.
Execution evidence
From EIT-backed evidence infrastructure to Islamic-finance validation systems.
Verifiable evidence infrastructure for financial-document validation and audit-ready workflows — explainable controls, policy-driven review logic and traceable decision records.
Extends the same evidence architecture into Islamic-finance workflows. Initial use case: Murabaha analysis and control validation across document-driven financing flows. A Gulf- facing product direction.
An application was submitted to Misk's Islamic-finance track for the Islamic-finance product line. A separate initiative from this RegTech product; its current status is not stated here.
These prior initiatives show reusable evidence, compliance and Islamic-finance workflow foundations — not Amanah Alpha client deployments.

FAQ
No. Amanah Alpha is an assurance layer only — it never issues fatwas, holds custody, signs transactions or executes trades. Sharia authority stays with your board; we make its decisions verifiable.
The rules a Sharia advisor or investment committee approves for a product — permitted assets, leverage, lending, balances and more. Amanah Alpha turns them into versioned, machine-readable controls.
No. Evaluation runs off the execution path and never touches execution, so it adds no latency to any execution path.
The demonstrator runs on synthetic sandbox data; no live connection is offered yet.
The QFC offers a Digital Assets Framework (2024), a Digital Assets Lab supported by the Qatar Central Bank, a dedicated single-family-office regime and common-law courts — and QFC Lab participants and regulated asset managers are the first discovery targets. GCC expansion follows.
Yes. The Evidence Passport carries per-file hashes and a manifest root digest, and the deterministic verifier replays the same inputs to the same decision.
Amanah Alpha plans to establish in Qatar under the QFC. Discovery interviews are planned through the QSTP Sprint; no customer, pilot or commercial relationship is claimed — and we publish our work as an independently inspectable technical demonstrator.
