IOTA STRAX

Quick answer
IOTA

IOTA 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. 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.

Stratis

Stratis is classified as doubtful (mashbooh) with a Shariah compliance score of 68.6/100 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.
