Layer 3 (L3) coins: are they halal?
8 Layer 3 (L3) coins screened against our 27-point Shariah methodology. Open any report for pillar scores, criterion breakdowns and purification guidance.
What is Layer 3 (L3)?
Layer 3 refers to application-specific blockchains or protocol layers built on top of Layer 2 rollups, which themselves sit atop a Layer 1 base chain such as Ethereum. These L3 networks handle specialized functions like custom execution environments, application logic, or cross-rollup interoperability, inheriting security and settlement from the underlying L2 while offloading further computation to reduce costs and increase throughput. Tokens in this category typically power gas fees, governance, or incentive mechanisms specific to these tailored, app-focused chains.

How CryptoUmmah screens Layer 3 (L3) 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 8 Layer 3 (L3) coins we've screened, the average Shariah compliance score sits at 55.3/100, with 25% classified Halal, 25% Mashbooh, and 50% Haram.
