Coin verdict · DeFi / DEX aggregator · Updated 2026-04-26
Kyber Network is a DEX aggregator and on-chain liquidity protocol launched in 2017. KNC is the staking and governance token. The protocol routes orders across multiple liquidity sources to find the best price, and the underlying liquidity sources include riba-bearing tokens (interest-collateralised stablecoins, lending receipts). From an AAOIFI-aligned perspective, Kyber falls into the same exclusion bucket as most DEX infrastructure: the primary economic activity facilitates swaps of prohibited instruments, and KNC stakers earn yield from those swap fees.
