SmarDex

SmarDex is classified as doubtful (mashbooh) with a Shariah compliance score of 58/100 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.

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