Purify your profits from OSMO

A portion of profit from OSMO isn't fully yours to keep — here's how to return it

What does "purification" mean?

Even fully screened assets can pick up small amounts of tainted income along the way — purification means giving that specific portion back, not paying extra.

Based on Osmosis's riba, gharar and maysir screening — see how we calculate purification amounts.
