AKT VIRTUAL

Quick answer
Akash Network

Akash Network is classified as doubtful (mashbooh) with a Shariah compliance score of 68.5/100 based on our scholar-approved methodology. The staking mechanism requires careful evaluation from an Islamic perspective.

The defining feature of money in Islam is that it is nothing but a medium of exchange. It is only that and serves nothing but that. It is not a commodity to trade or rent.

Mufti Faraz Adam
Virtual Protocol

Virtual Protocol is classified as doubtful (mashbooh) with a Shariah compliance score of 63.5/100 based on our scholar-approved methodology. The staking mechanism requires careful evaluation from an Islamic perspective.

My personal view is that many crypto-assets can be deemed digital assets, while some may serve as a medium of exchange within their specific networks.
