# FAQ (https://docs.tsamara.xyz/docs/faq)

Short answers, with the caveats kept.

## What is Tsamara, in plain words?
A prototype that represents a sukuk series as a token with a $10 unit on Solana. Approved
investors can subscribe with stablecoins, transfer units to each other and receive
distributions, and the rules about who may hold units are enforced by programs onchain.

## Can I invest real money?
No. It runs on devnet with a mock series and test dollars that have no value. Nothing here is an
offer of securities.

## Is this a real sovereign sukuk?
No. The demo series is a mock, and Tsamara is not affiliated with any sovereign issuer. Only a
sovereign's own issuer can issue its sukuk. A real Tsamara would issue units representing a
beneficial share in sukuk held on trust.

## Is it certified by a sharia board?
No. It is designed with sharia principles in mind: the return is an expected profit
distribution, not interest, and the share of tangible assets is published. It has not been
reviewed or certified by any sharia board.

## Is the return fixed?
No. The series has an expected profit rate set by its structure. It is an expectation.

## Who can hold units?
Only wallets the compliance authority has registered, in a jurisdiction the series is offered
in. See [Eligibility and transfers](https://docs.tsamara.xyz/docs/eligibility).

## Why is the demo series not offered in the United States or Indonesia?
A public offer in the United States needs registration. In Indonesia the rupiah is mandatory for
domestic transactions, and this series settles in a stablecoin.

## Can someone take my units?
The compliance authority can move units without the holder's signature, for lost keys,
inheritance, or an order from a court or regulator. Each such transfer is recorded onchain with
its reason and the authority that ordered it. In the prototype that authority is a single key.

## Why Solana?
Token-2022 provides the pieces as standard features: accounts frozen by default, a hook on every
transfer, metadata on the mint, and atomic transactions for delivery versus payment.

## Is it audited?
No.
