GMX YFI

Quick answer
GMX

GMX is classified as doubtful (mashbooh) with a Shariah compliance score of 61.9/100 based on our scholar-approved methodology. The staking mechanism requires careful evaluation from an Islamic perspective.

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

IJFMR
yearn-finance

yearn-finance is classified as doubtful (mashbooh) with a Shariah compliance score of 63.3/100 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.
