LCX CAKE

Quick answer
LCX

LCX is classified as doubtful (mashbooh) with a Shariah compliance score of 66.5/100 based on our scholar-approved methodology. The staking mechanism requires careful evaluation from an Islamic perspective.

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

Ziyaad Mahomed, Shariah Committee Chairman, HSBC Amanah Malaysia Bhd
PancakeSwap

PancakeSwap 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.

Before investing, screening crypto-assets for Shariah compliance is "absolutely essential." This includes legitimacy, project, financials, token, and staking mechanism screenings.
