Is Audius (AUDIO) halal?
Audius is a decentralized music-streaming protocol where artists upload music directly and listeners stream without intermediaries. AUDIO is the native token used for staking by node operators, content discovery, and governance. From an AAOIFI-aligned perspective, the platform is content-neutral infrastructure; the token captures fees from streaming usage. Permissible with caveats; subscribers should consider personal taqlid on entertainment-platform exposure.

Gharar (uncertainty)
PassAsset specifications, supply schedule, and on-chain settlement are publicly verifiable. Spot ownership transfers cleanly with no embedded contingent payoffs. AUDIO supply schedule is publicly documented.
Maysir (gambling)
PassSpot purchase is direct ownership of a defined asset, not a wager. Our bot never places leverage, futures, perpetuals, options, or margin trades — eliminating the maysir vector at execution.
Haram-sector exposure
