What is RPG?

RPG-category tokens are the native cryptocurrencies of blockchain-based role-playing games, used to purchase characters, equipment, land, or consumable items, and to reward players for questing, leveling up, or defeating opponents. Many function within play-to-earn or free-to-play economies where in-game assets are represented as NFTs while the token serves as the fungible medium of exchange and staking or governance instrument. Token supply and emission are typically tied to game mechanics such as breeding, crafting, or dungeon rewards, linking the asset's circulation directly to player activity within the game's economy.

How CryptoUmmah screens RPG 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 RPG coins we've screened, the average Shariah compliance score sits at 53.8/100, with 9% classified Halal, 45% Mashbooh, and 45% Haram.
