Coin98

Coin98 is classified as doubtful (mashbooh) with a Shariah compliance score of 63.8/100 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.
