Decentralized Science (DeSci) coins: are they halal?

11 Decentralized Science (DeSci) coins screened against our 27-point Shariah methodology. Open any report for pillar scores, criterion breakdowns and purification guidance.

What is Decentralized Science (DeSci)?

Decentralized Science (DeSci) tokens power blockchain-based platforms that fund, coordinate, and publish scientific research outside traditional academic and grant institutions. These projects use tokenized incentives, NFTs representing intellectual property or research outputs, and DAO structures to let token holders vote on which studies receive funding, access data sets, or share in downstream royalties from discoveries. Common applications include decentralized grant pools, peer-review marketplaces, biotech IP-NFTs, and open datasets for longevity, biotech, and other research fields.

How CryptoUmmah screens Decentralized Science (DeSci) 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 11 Decentralized Science (DeSci) coins we've screened, the average Shariah compliance score sits at 58.1/100, with 9% classified Halal, 64% Mashbooh, and 27% Haram.
