Haqq, an ethics-first L1 blockchain behind the Islamic Coin (ISLM) cryptocurrency is actively seeking to work with like-minded startups and talents in Kenya and East Africa.
“As we venture into new territories, our mission is to expand the footprint of HAQQ and Islamic Coin in East Africa through genuine collaborations with local startups and talents,” said Zain Awan the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO).
“We are on a journey to propel the ethical finance sector forward by leveraging our cutting-edge technology. Our commitment is to create synergies that will redefine the contours of the ethical finance sector one collaboration at a time.”
Haqq, a participant in the recent ETHSafari 2023 festival held in Kilifi, Kenya, was intrigued by the ground-breaking projects emerging from Kenya and the East Africa ecosystem and is set to collaborate with young and aspiring developers from top-tier universities in Kenya.

“We are incredibly excited about the potential of the Kenyan Web3 ecosystem. It’s a hub brimming with young, innovative talents and promising startups, and we at HAQQ are committed to fostering collaborations to elevate these entities. Our launchpad, HaqqPad, is designed to nurture our HAQQ Labs to incubate and invest in projects that align with our vision,” said Chief Programs Officer (CPO).
The Haqq blockchain, which is compatible with other EVM chains such as Ethereum, hosts different solutions including NFTs, DeFi, and non-financial use cases. It seeks to bring together sustainability-centered developers, validators, open-source contributors, and Muslim innovators in sustainable finance.
The Islamic Coin, which is actually the ecosystem’s native currency, is currently up for a token sale offering on Republic, an investment platform.
Besides working with university students and the launchpad program, the organization is said to be preparing a series of initiatives to encourage more partnerships with local players including an online hackathon set to be announced soon.
“We are planning a series of engagements, including an imminent hackathon aimed at identifying solutions to local challenges in payments and other sectors that can leverage blockchain technology. Our goal is to empower projects that not only solve local problems but also contribute to the growth of the ethical finance sector by building on our chain.” said Haqq’s Chief Programs Officer.
