Data Availability coins: are they halal?

9 Data Availability coins screened against our 27-point Shariah methodology. Open any report for pillar scores, criterion breakdowns and purification guidance.

What is Data Availability?

Data availability tokens power blockchain infrastructure layers that guarantee transaction and block data behind a rollup or blockchain is published and retrievable by anyone wishing to verify it, without requiring every node to store or re-execute the full dataset. Networks such as Celestia, EigenDA, and Avail use erasure coding and sampling techniques so light nodes can probabilistically confirm data has been made available, underpinning rollup security and enabling modular blockchain architectures that separate execution, consensus, and data availability. The native tokens are typically used to pay for data publishing fees, secure the network through staking, and govern protocol parameters.

How CryptoUmmah screens Data Availability coins

As with every category we track, coins here are screened individually against our 27-point methodology across the three core pillars — riba (interest), gharar (uncertainty), and maysir (speculation/gambling) — rather than being judged by category label alone. Two coins sharing this tag can land on very different verdicts depending on their specific tokenomics, revenue model, and governance structure. Across the 9 Data Availability coins we've screened, the average Shariah compliance score sits at 67.0/100, with 33% classified Halal, 56% Mashbooh, and 11% Haram.
