Quick answer
Aragon

Aragon is classified as doubtful (mashbooh) with a Shariah compliance score of 69.5/100 based on our scholar-approved methodology. 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.

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.

Mufti Faraz Adam
Horizen

Horizen is classified as doubtful (mashbooh) with a Shariah compliance score of 69.9/100 based on our scholar-approved methodology.

Shariah does not require a currency to have intrinsic value; what matters is social acceptance.
