What is Software?
Software cryptocurrencies encompass tokens and platforms whose primary function is enabling programmable computation, application development, or infrastructure services on a blockchain, rather than simply transferring value. This includes smart contract platforms, decentralized storage and computing networks, oracle services, and developer tooling protocols, with native tokens used to pay transaction fees, compensate resource providers, or govern protocol upgrades. Value accrual typically depends on developer adoption, the volume of applications built on top of the platform, and usage of the underlying network resources.

CivicHow CryptoUmmah screens Software 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 3 Software coins we've screened, the average Shariah compliance score sits at 70.6/100, with 33% classified Halal, 67% Mashbooh, and 0% Haram.
