How this category is screened
These are the base blockchains and their scaling networks. The coin pays transaction fees and secures the chain through mining or proof-of-stake, with no interest-bearing, gambling or prohibited function in the protocol itself. On the conditional-permissibility view that is a permissible utility, which is why coins in this group generally screen Halal. Passing the coin does not clear everything built on the network: a lending app on a Halal chain is still a lending app.
A verdict covers buying the coin spot and holding it. Margin, leverage, futures and fixed-yield lending accounts fail whatever the coin.
Coins are screened on published scholarly opinion about what they do, because AAOIFI has not issued a cryptocurrency standard. Scholars who prohibit all cryptocurrency, or who withhold a ruling on it, would not accept any coin on this list. This is a screen, not a fatwa.
