Gate-by-gate analysis
Riba (interest)
PassFIL is paid as storage service fees. Spot FIL has no embedded interest.
Gharar (uncertainty)
PassAsset specifications, supply schedule, and on-chain settlement are publicly verifiable. Spot ownership transfers cleanly with no embedded contingent payoffs. FIL supply schedule (vesting, miner rewards) is 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
PassFilecoin serves general data storage. No structural prohibited-sector dependency.
Liquidity
PassFIL clears all tier gates.
