6 months ago, I decided to stop our most successful startup project to date.
We had built the first ever zero-interest borrowing offered in decentralized finance, and it was taking off because the returns were huge. The concept of an *actually* 0% interest loan was totally unheard of. Even for non-Muslims.
But there was a problem.
The platform we'd built it on was really hard to use. You needed a "wallet" and "private key" which you then took to a janky-looking blockchain "exchange" to get the funds which you could then borrow against.
It was great to help the few Muslims who were able to navigate this to make huge returns, but our goal was always bigger.
We wanted to use zero-interest digital assets to help the Ummah at large, not just a few financially savvy Muslims.
So we decided to pause our purely blockchain-facing operations and keep it at maintenance while we build a tool so simple that even a grandma could deposit money and profit share in these huge returns.
6 months later, we've finally built out Goldsand, and our dream of simplifying high zero-interest returns for the Ummah in just a few clicks is being realized.
