The staking mechanism requires careful evaluation from an Islamic perspective. Muslims should also carefully evaluate any DeFi protocols built on this platform to avoid interest-based applications.

While blockchain promotes transparency, adoption will lead to cryptocurrencies that enhance anonymity... undermining benefits.
