What is Defi Pulse Index (DPI)?
The DeFi Pulse Index (DPI) is a market-capitalization-weighted index token that tracks a basket of leading decentralized finance protocol governance tokens, such as those from lending, decentralized exchange, and derivatives platforms. Issued on Ethereum through Index Coop and originally built using Set Protocol's infrastructure, DPI is an ERC-20 token that can be minted, redeemed, or traded, with its underlying constituents periodically rebalanced according to a defined methodology covering market capitalization, liquidity, and protocol activity criteria. Holding DPI provides diversified exposure to the DeFi sector without requiring direct acquisition or management of each individual underlying token.

How CryptoUmmah screens Defi Pulse Index (DPI) 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 Defi Pulse Index (DPI) coins we've screened, the average Shariah compliance score sits at 64.0/100, with 56% classified Halal, 11% Mashbooh, and 33% Haram.
