Yield-Bearing
Digital Currency Platform
DRHM is the flagship platform of Veridian Protocol Technologies — a complete, build-ready protocol for a Gulf currency-pegged digital token backed by sovereign sukuk, certified gold, and real-world assets, engineered to deliver 8–14% APY to retail savers, SME treasuries, and institutional investors.
Veridian builds the technology. The platform is designed to be operated by a licensed issuer under the regional PTSR framework.
All figures are design targets from the DRHM platform business model, illustrating the economics available to a licensed operator.
A Complete Financial Backbone
for the Gulf Digital Economy
DRHM is not just a stablecoin design — it's a complete platform: a savings layer, a payments rail, a credit system, and a programmable money engine, architected end-to-end within the regional regulatory framework and ready for a licensed operator to deploy.
Synthetic Digital Currency
DRHM is an ERC-20 token locally-pegged through a delta-neutral reserve strategy. Freely transferable, redeemable at par by KYB-cleared market makers, and regionally PTSR-aligned.
Yield-Bearing Savings
sDRHM is an ERC-4626 vault engineered to distribute 8–14% APY daily via an appreciating exchange rate. Three vault tiers — Conservative, Balanced, and Aggressive — serve every risk appetite.
Gulf-Native Reserves
Backed by Gulf sovereign sukuk, certified tokenized gold, Gulf real estate tokens, and trade finance receivables. No global stablecoin can replicate this regionally-native reserve composition.
AI-Autonomous Treasury
A reinforcement-learning treasury agent rebalances across six yield streams every 15 minutes, designed to enforce a 3% APY floor in bear markets and optimise for maximum yield within governance bounds.
Shariah-Aligned by Design
The platform is architected for certification by a three-member AAOIFI-qualified Shariah Supervisory Board — quarterly review of yield mechanisms, collateral types, and contract logic, with SSB veto power over any non-compliant income stream built into the governance layer.
Financial Identity
Every DRHM transaction builds a verifiable on-chain financial identity. The DRHM Score unlocks undercollateralised lending and BNPL credit — giving the region's 8.8M expatriates their first merit-based credit system.
A Once-in-a-Generation
Market Convergence
Regulatory clarity, government mandate, and global stablecoin adoption are converging now. DRHM is built for the operator ready to capture this moment.
Structural Tailwinds
Regional PTSR Framework
The regional Payment Token Services Regulation creates an explicit licensing pathway for digital currency issuers. Multiple issuers have already received approvals, with more in progress.
Government Digital Mandate
Gulf governments are targeting near-100% digital transactions within this decade. Regulators are actively mandating merchant acceptance of licensed digital currency stablecoins — the regulatory tailwind is already law.
Global Stablecoin Surge
Stablecoin settlement volumes surged 91% in 2025. Visa, Mastercard, Klarna, and Western Union are building on stablecoin rails. Stablecoins are no longer crypto-native.
US GENIUS Act Advantage
The US GENIUS Act (July 2025) prohibits yield-bearing fiat-backed stablecoins in America. This creates a structural competitive advantage for Gulf-domiciled protocol designs.
Addressable Market Sizing
Four Tokens.
Six Yield Streams. Infinite Use Cases.
A vertically integrated financial protocol — not just a stablecoin, but a complete programmable money ecosystem.
DRHMSynthetic Currency
ERC-20 token locally-pegged via a delta-neutral reserve strategy. Freely transferable, usable for payments, and redeemable at par by KYB-cleared market makers.
sDRHMFLAGSHIPYield-Bearing Savings
ERC-4626 vault designed to distribute protocol revenue daily as an appreciating exchange rate. Three tiered strategies — Conservative (4–6%), Balanced (8–12%), Aggressive (14–22%).
Reserve Token
A money-market fund share representing a direct claim on the protocol's T-bill and sukuk pool. 4–5% APY, zero derivatives exposure. Designed for pension funds and family offices.
Governance Token
Governs protocol parameters including collateral types, reserve allocations, fee splits, and Shariah Board appointments. Staking DGT boosts sDRHM yield multipliers. Year 3 launch via VARA.
sDRHM Vault Strategies
Three independently deployed ERC-4626 vaults serving distinct user segments.
Conservative
Reserve: 95% Gulf sukuk + 5% certified gold
Target user: Retirees, school fee savers, shariah-compliant institutional funds
Balanced
Reserve: 80% sukuk + 10% perp hedge + 10% gold/trade finance
Target user: Gulf middle-income savers, SME treasuries, family offices
Aggressive
Reserve: 50% sukuk + 30% perp hedge + 20% RWA (RE + trade finance)
Target user: DeFi-native yield farmers, crypto funds, Pendle YT buyers
Six-Stream Yield Engine
Diversified, all-weather revenue — designed to maintain positive yield even through severe bear market conditions.
Primary reserve: central bank-approved Gulf T-bills held via licensed custodians. Shariah-certified.
Delta-neutral ETH/BTC short on regulated venues. Historically 8–12% in bull cycles.
Certified gold tokens earn storage lease yield. Inflation-resistant, shariah-compliant.
Gulf SME invoice receivables via on-chain credit pools. 90-day locally-denominated instruments.
Gulf property rental income via regulated SPV tokens. 5–8% rental yield.
Excess stable reserves earn institutional rates from Gulf licensed banks.
When perpetual funding rates turn negative for 72+ consecutive hours, the AI treasury agent automatically shifts to sukuk and gold positions — enforcing a minimum 3% APY floor by design for all sDRHM holders regardless of market conditions.
